Where to store synced images?

Where would the best place be to have my synced images saved to? If I save them to the local hard drive would that use up too much space and slow down my computer?  Is saving it to a SSD drive better? or saving it to the creative cloud best?

To add to this I currently have over 20,000 images synced and I do use both LRC and LR Mobile to edit images.

If you don't have a lot of space on the internal drive, then using some other drive makes sense. There is really no global "best" place for these files; in fact for YOU the best place for them is wherever you would like them to be that doesn't cause you any problems (and if this is also important, fits with your existing folder organizing scheme).

 

Go to Preferences in Lightroom Classic, then click on the Lightroom sync tab, and then specify where to store the synced images.
