Android v11.3.1: “Save copy to device” fails with “Couldn’t complete export,” while v11.2.2 works normally
Hello, I would like to report an issue with “Save copy to device” in Lightroom Mobile for Android.
Device / Platform
My smartphone is an Android phone.
I am using Lightroom Mobile v11.3.1 on my Android smartphone.
Issue
When I open a photo in Lightroom Mobile and choose
Share → Save copy to device,
I get the error message:
“Couldn’t complete export”
and the photo is not saved to my Android device.
What I have already checked
- My Adobe account is correct.
- Cloud sync is working properly.
- The same photos are visible in Lightroom on my laptop.
- The same photos are also visible in Lightroom Web.
- My Android phone has enough free storage space.
- I restarted the phone.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom.
- After reinstalling, I signed in again and completed syncing.
- Use Cellular Data is enabled in Lightroom settings.
- I force-stopped the app and reopened it.
- I also cleared the app cache.
- I tried Store locally for an album, but it also did not work properly.
Comparison test
- On my Galaxy Tab / Lightroom v11.2.2,
using the same Adobe account and the same cloud photos,
“Save copy to device” works normally. - On my Android smartphone / Lightroom v11.3.1,
under the same conditions,
I get the error
“Couldn’t complete export.”
My suspicion
This may be related to a regression or compatibility issue in v11.3.1 affecting Save copy to device / Export to device on Android smartphones.
Request
- Please confirm whether this is a known issue.
- Please let me know if there is any workaround.
- I can provide more details or run additional tests if needed.
