Hi,

I used an catalog A That I split in Catalog B and Catalog C (I did that because Catalog A is too heavy : >60k of photographies RAW + jpg <- Performance problem)

Catalog B is a twin of catalog A (Catalog A is now only a backup) + import of Catalog C

Catalog C is only for my daily work 

The problem is the Lr synchronination do not works with Catalog B (and I want only synchronise catalog B). Is any way to initialise the synchronisation with catalog B ?

Now, the synchronistaion seems stuck.

Hi there,

As you want to sync a different catalog to cloud, you can open the catalog and click on the name plate on top left corner and choose to start the sync. However, Lightroom cannot sync more than one catalogue, and there's no workaround. If you sync a different one, the previous catalogue's photos are removed from all synced devices and Lightroom web. Make sure that all the images from Catalog C are backed up locally before attempting to sync Catalog B. Also first open Catalog C and paus the sync process by going to the name plate, then start the sync in Catalog B.

Regards,
Sahil
