P: I would like to synchronize over LAN/Cable instead of internet

Lack of LAN or direct synching is a problem. Just yesterday Adobe's servers   w e    r     e    r  un ni  ng s oo  ooooo  sl ooo ww  ly. Hideous.


Meanwhile, get Mylio. It does LAN synching and works with RAW, Lr and gives you more control. Maybe Adobe should buy them for their obviously superior tech.

I think Lightroom Mobile is a waste of time and effort in general. Adobe built in the option for syncing your main catalog but the real aim is actually just to edit photos taken on your mobile device. It is much faster to just copy a catalog over to a laptop, edit and copy the catalog back.

Latest update of Lightroom Mobile with Raw support is great but not being able to sync directly using the LAN wifi, without having to upload to the cloud, handicaps the mobile app for many users including myself. Lightroom Mobile is a free app but this is a feature that I would actually pay for. Right now this is the one thing that will keep me from using Lightroom Mobile in any major way. Would love to use my iPad for more of my image workflow but I don't want to use up internet bandwidth multiple times just to get images from an iPad to the desktop.

I would like to have the option to sync Lightroom Mobile (on the iPad) with my computer via LAN wifi (when devices are connected on the same network).. rather than having to sync via the internet and back which is much slower. My internet isn't very fast and I dont see the point in having to rely on this as a transfer process for photos between my computer and iPad.

Synchronizing with Lightroom Mobile can take several hours to sync and internet connectivity is not always available. When I work at remote locations, I want to work on my photos on the plane while flying home... I believe this is the whole idea of Lightroom Mobile - but this is impossible without internet connectivity. Synching over a LAN or USB connection makes sense.

I have now waited over 5 hours for a catalogue to sync and it is at 70%!!! I could edit, sort and finalise everything on my laptop by the time the sync is done!

Syncing a collection with 1000+ images for offline editing on mobile Lightroom is really painful. It will be absolutely fantastic if we can do it directly over wireless LAN. Really time-saving!

We do not always need to sync to the creative cloud all the times.
