Hey, @Castiel35389561kku1. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

 

In Lightroom, open any image & check the 'i' Info panel to find the current sync status. 

 

 

As a test, add these images to an album and right-click on the album to store them offline. Check if export works with the offline album.

 

Let me know how it goes. 

Thanks!

everything is synced. ai noise reduction does not work anyway , original photo is not available lightroom says. i can edit the picture but it uses the smart preview it seems. if i store it offline it gets deleted from online and i dont want that.
