I am currently using LR Classic on my Mac desktop (with the latest OS)

I intend to sync my LRCat file and photos to Icloud.

Changes are then made on my LRCat file on my computer.

Once syncing is completed, will those changes in my LRCat file (on my desktop) be reflected when I open up LR Classic on my laptop? (ie will the change in my LRCat file be sybc across my various devices?)

Thank you for your help.

In general, putting a catalog file in the cloud is an action that can lead to catalog corruption, and this is not a good thing. Best to avoid putting catalogs in the cloud.

If you really want to be able to access the same photos on two computers, use an external HD; or use Lightroom (not Classic).
