P: Export/Sync Lightroom Cloud Folders and Subfolders with Albums to Local Storage

I am a frequent user of Lightroom (Cloud) and I appreciate the ease of use and mobile synchronization. However, I am missing a crucial feature for backup and organization.

Currently, it's difficult to manage local backups of my entire photo library from the cloud. I would like a feature that allows me to:

1. **Export/Sync all my folders and subfolders with nested albums from Lightroom Cloud to a local hard drive.**
2. **Maintain the same folder and album structure on the local drive as it exists in the cloud.**
3. **Automatically sync future changes (new photos, new albums, edits) from the cloud to the local drive.**

This functionality would give me peace of mind by ensuring I have a complete, organized backup of my entire library, including the folder structure I've already created. This is especially important for professional photographers or serious hobbyists who need reliable local copies of their work.

Thank you for considering this request.

    Yes yes YES!!!! This is THE sole reason I still hesitate to be all in with LR cloud, I am sure the reason is complex, but why did I have this ability with LR Classic, and I do not have this ability with LR? I just want the organization I have in LR Cloud to be mirrored/maintained with my EHD. I am doing it manually, but it's not working well at all, help! I do believe if this can be done, more people would made the switch from LRC, it is the ONE complaint that I hear from a dozen of my friends, it's a showstopper, and I honestly tell them it's super tough to not have what I once had. I hope this makes sense, and I truly hope it is something Adobe can consider for a future update? Thanks!!
