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

That’s looks great. I’ll be giving on1 a go for sure. Awesome!

PS: let‘s see what the upcoming ON1 Photo Sync will provide. Sounds promising already...

Even the pure rating process would be a major improvement...

On location / while travelling:
1) take pictures
2) load them on the iPad
3) rate pictures

Back home:
4) load images via WiFi or (even preferred!) via cable on my computer
5) import or sync rating info, possibly as exif files in ANY editing software

Totally agree, won‘t stick to Adobe if someone else eventually supports a mobile workflow.

I hope too. The first apply that will allow post-processing and RAW (DNG) export on IPAD will be immediately the big winner ! By By Adobe 😉

Well, loosing improvements or ratings is useless. For the pure backup purpose I could just use multiple cards...

Shame, Adobe is not solving this problem. Cloud is not an option for travel photography. Just trying to sync 3000 images (started 4 days ago). Just hope there is any other company to develop a reasonable solution for this problem.

For the users of iPad and computers Apple where AirDrop works:

A thing to be known if they load memory of photographs since a card on an iPad, these pictures are visible in application PHOTOGRAPH, then, if they do not have automate fact to import everything in LR, alone those that they will have wanted to treat, will have ètè transferred in LR and have to be synchronized via the Internet process defined by Adobe.

I have just tried since my iPad (PHOTOGRAPH application) towards my iMac. by using AirDrop, the raw raw was transferred in some seconds (15 pictures of 17.5 MB about, of course possible developments made in LR on my iPad are lost.

I know, it is a work-around, but this can help!

No update regarding this request despite iOS 13. And frankly, you can forget about it. It's not even under consideration. Adobe is focussing on the cloud; Classic is as good as dead, don't expect new big features, imho. You'll get some bug fixes and cosmetic improvements, but nothing more, I'm afraid.

any experience?

Just to add some water to the mill:

I've just returned from a week of shooting with about 60 Go of photos stored on my iPad. I had no or very limited access to internet, so syncing on the field was not an option.

Now the only way I have to transfer those images on my computer, is by letting my iPad sync, which despite a good connection is still a slow process. Firstly, 60 Go is a significant amount of data. Secondly, I have the feeling my bandwidth is not the bottleneck, but the servers.

Furthermore, those 60 Go have to be synced in 3 or more times. Getting a larger plan is not an option, because: 1) I would only use it a couple of times a year 2) there is no monthly option, only yearly 3) LR is already expensive enough like this 4) Getting a bigger plan would only help the syncing process, but not speed up the process and 5) would be wasted when connection is poor, which is frequently the case.

Lastly, I end up having to delete those images from the cloud, preventing me from keeping the 1:1 images I had. I have to re-sync smart previews back to my iPad. So we end up with two, slow and long, destructive process.

I hope Adobe will start to take customer's feedback into account 😉

The Mobile local sync technique you are discussing good but it's not the best way to use the technology. Because many times you might get faced Wii Error Code 51330 and it's really a problem for your device. The problem's solution is really so much time-consuming in nature.
