Help,

I moved folders of files to larger storage drive..... in Lightroom synchronized... I cannot find the processed galleries in LR.

If I choose the entire year I can find.... but no folders.

I can find in apple finder as well.

Thanks, Gary

    . in Lightroom synchronized.

    It sounds like you have created a new Catalog and re-imported everything by synchronizing.  The wrong thing to do. Hopefully you have your 'old' catalog, or a backup, that can re-link the photos in their new location.
