Syncing and moving files between folders takes ages
Hello!
Here's a quick description of my workflow: I manage photos from multiple iPhones in one LR catalogue. The photos are stored on a NAS, the iPhones use the NAS's app to automatically upload new photos to a specific folder on the NAS. Periodically, I right-click those folders in LR to synchronize them (add new photos). Then I move the pictures from the NAS folders to other local (or NAS) folders and process the images.
This has worked well for years (over a decade). Lately, it's gotton slower and slower. The number of photos in the synched folder is a few hundred. But merely the act of synchronzing can take hours. And asking LR to move the files yields a box in the 'tasks' section at the top left of the screen ("moving files...") but the progress bar never advances...
Why has this stopped working? It was always extremely slow when doing this from a remote location (even with very good internet connection speeds), but now it's painfully slow even from within my own network) Network speeds are fine for other apps...
Is there a better way (not using Adobe Cloud)?
Best regards,
Andrew
