Question

Syncing problem between lightroom classic and lighroom

Greetings, I've created a collection on lighroom classic to sync with Lighroom cloud based. Lightroom classic “syncs” the photos but the photos do not appear on the created collection on LCC. Lightroom classic seems to have completed the sync, but when I review the sync activity log the photos are “uploading”. I've tried the “rebuild sync data” with no results. Also, I've looked into the sync status on web and no issues have been logged. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey, @rafapguz. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out. Could you let me know which images or collections/albums are affected? 


    Are there no images synced to Lightroom Web? Could you try importing a few images directly into Lightroom Web and check if they download in Lightroom Classic as they should, and if they sync to Lightroom desktop or mobile?


    Thanks!

    Thanks ​@Sameer K for the welcome. I started with a one random collection on Lightroom classic that syncs with Lightroom CC so I can edit the photos on my iPad. I set up the collection as a target collection. Yesterday I transferred to the collection a small batch of about 20 photos. Only 9, without any specific order would sync and the others won’t. I pull up the sync status and the photos that are unable to sync are there stuck.
