Changing mobile device without syncing from scratch

Hi together,

I use LR CC on a Windows desktop and an Android 6 mobile device.

On the Android mobile are about 15 thousend photos synchronized AND downloaded for offline editing. I use the external SD-card.

How can I change my mobile device to a new one with the same Android version without having to sync and to download all the photos? (Had a hard time downloading all pics because of a very slow internet connection.)

Hi KlausCR,

Please use the same SD card in the other android phone, also install Lightroom mobile on it and sign in to the app.

Start your editing from the sd card and sync that image to the desktop version..

Let us know if that helps.

Regards,

Mohit
