I would love to see my develop presets syncing through to Lightroom Mobile. So I can work faster with my known Lightroom presets.

That'll be a manual process Luke. That said, unless you update your presets on a regular basis, it's probably only a case of installing new presets into both apps at the same time when you download/create them, so hopefully that won't be too much hassle.

Will classic and cc desktop stay in sync, or do we have to frequently copy between the two?

Great news... this feature was added to the entire Lightroom CC ecosystem in today's releases. Note that Lightroom Classic does NOT sync presets, but if you use Lightroom CC mobile apps, you can get your presets to the mobile apps by installing the Lightroom CC desktop app and importing your presets/profiles into that.

Is it happening, is it really happening? Let’s go we got a grain slider, we’re getting a preset button. I actually am stoked for this. Preset syncing would be ideal and I really hope there’s a folder management system. I personally never use the default presets and I have maybe 50 custom presets on top of some others that were shared to me. It already feels a little messy especially when theres a profiles tab and presets tab. Plus we don’t need grain presets now that we have a slider. Perhaps empty out the “presets” tab and reserve it for our custom ones. Then reserve “profiles” for all the default lightroom ones. That’ll make it easy for begginers to get the hang of things rather than having it split. And it’ll give pros a fresh clean page to get excited about filling with their own presets. Being able to copy/paste edits from the library/“all photos” view would be a huge enhancement. Not sure if that belongs in a seperate post. I’m going to stop before I sound greedy. Baby steps. Thank you guys for addressing this

Soon. That's as close to a ETA as you'll get I'm afraid Heather.

You cannot sync presets with iOS. If you apply presets to a photo, you can copy and paste the settings (as you can on Mac), but you cannot apply presets. It’s pretty broken, and has been for a long time.

Since the last update was 7 months hopefully they are close. As currently to sync presets between Macs requires syncing the preset folder with say Dropbox. I believe you can sync presets with iOS which is nice so not sure why you can't yet between Macs since this has been on these threads for as long as 4 years in some cases.

Here we are 6 months later and still none. This is not how cloud services are supposed to work...
