hi,

I have a big catalogue in LR Classic divided in different's years Folder, that are divided in subfolders with month or project or travel. 

When i want to have with me some project i create a colecction folder synched with Cloud and i put inside all pictures i need. So i can watch or show o correct in travel in my ipad or notebook with lightroom browser version. 

Now i would like to have the complete catalogue available whenever i need with the same tree's folder organization that i have in LR Classic. How can i do?

One thing you can do is for each of the most important/desired folders, you can right click and choose Create Collection "xxFolderNamexx". Then go to the collections panel and check to make sure that new Collection is syncing. Of course, LrC will make Smart Previews of the images to upload during the sync process.

I have my photos organized in folders under a master "Photos" folder. I see in LrC that I could create a collection from that folder. I have no idea how that would work, because there are 61,000 images in that folder.

TBMK You cannot!  Lr does not use a folder organisation in the same way as does LrC, and you are limited to only syncing individual LrC collections to Lr as Albums. Lr Albums can be in Lr folders, but not mirroring the folder structure in LrC.
