P: Lightroom Ecosystem: Selective Sync

This is top of my request list too.   I'm not a professional photographer, but have to dip in and out of photo editing.    I need to start collating photos from various devices and storage including an old Aperture library.   However that library alone would exceed my Adobe storage and it's not viable to upgrade my Adobe storage when I have a perfectly good Synology NAS at home which looks after (and backs up) all my other data and is accessible wherever I have to work.
I'm going to have to download LR Classic but would much prefer integrating a cloud option with selective sync.  
Please Adobe, listen to your customers.   This option seems to have a lot of support so please acknowledge this and look to add features that people are desperate for.

Or at least it could work on a date basis, for example you could store originals locally from 1 month and newer, 1 year or newer etc..

CC already splits all your photos into dates, and "store locally" functionality is there for the shared albums, why not apply the option to the By Date structure?

Absolutely @kernol, I'd love to see Adobe be more open with their customers. In the early days of Lightroom, the user base was much smaller and the product much simpler, and it was much more of a two-way communication. These days, everything is so much more complex, and they've become quieter as a result. Josh Haftel (LR mobile/web manager) commented on it towards the end of this thread: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/are-the-professionals-being-ignored

@Victoria

I can see that you do an amazing job interacting with this community by the number of posts and likes - so nothing personal - but the user-base does not seem to share your view that their comments are taken seriously ... or indeed at all.

As an "insider" you may well know better - but I assume even you are prohibited by Adobe policy from giving any indication about which features, if any, are actually under consideration or development ... and which are not.  

It is simply actual FEEDBACK from Adobe that will break the feelings of neglect expressed by so many members of the community.

All that we mere mortals can do is hope that you, our "Lightroom Queen", can carry these "complaints" to the powers that be ... and encourage them to engage more with their own community.

This entire thread is in regards to Lightroom CC, not Classic. Everyone already knows that ALL of the Classic products are being removed, so they can charge more for Software As A Service, and deliver inferior products. Companies tried this several years ago, and it was a major failure. Hopefully, it will fail again. It is the lack of syncing options in Lightroom CC, that make it useless. Not to mention the numerous features in Classic that don’t exist in CC.

Hi kernol, yes, I'm very well aware of the issues and differences. I was responding to John Wallace's comments that comments here are essentially ignored (which is not true), and interested to hear which CC features he's currently missing in Classic, as it's very unusual to hear it that way round. The more limited sync capabilities in Classic are the obvious one, but John seemed to be suggesting there were more.

Thanks Jao - this is what I suspected - just a pity no one from Adobe Development had the courtesy to respond to this thread and tell it like it is !

I have used Lightroom for over a decade - since version 1.0 - and have thoroughly enjoyed the refinements, improvements and added features over the years. However I am clearly not alone in becoming increasingly concerned that, having switched to a subscription model - Adobe is beginning to appreciate its user base less and less.

A shift in attitude and approach would be welcome - and easily achieved by being more responsive to the efforts of users to contribute to the efficacy of their products.

Unfortunately they have announced in a few places that there will be no improvements on the syncing capabilities of Classic in the future. Not sure how hard and fast that is of course but clear that that is not their focus.

I think Jon Anscher here above and in the links provided describes very well the situaton. in particular “...there’s no easy way to sync all your photos from Classic to Mobile....” .
There actually are ‘difficult’ ways, that I found out after two months of trial and error and with some help from Victoria Bampton, but they are cumbersome and time consuming. That the reason for my comment above about the ‘stone age’ feeling.
Let’s see if somebody from Adobe will let us know they are working on it, or if they simply don’t care.

Forget the genie - a simple response from development that a concept requested and commented on by so many is "under consideration" - or impractical to develop due to technical constraints ... would be a welcome acknowledgement that Adobe values the suggestions or concerns of its customers.

I don't believe any "complaining" about Classic vs CC was mentioned - the author simply pointed out the differences - which I assume you are familiar with - or have at least read the link provided where the main differences are clearly set out.

Facetious comments from a "Moderator" are not helpful.
