Download/remove old originals from the cloud and store them on hard drive

Hi all,

I still have Lightroom 6 and mobil. How can I download the originals from the cloud to store them on a classic hard drive and delete them in the cloud? I do not want to have all pics on the cloud. Prefer to make an annual pic folder on my different hard drives.

Thanks,

Dirk

    It is confusing-sorry for this.

    I do not have the official LR options for ~11€/months.

    I have a official Lightroom CC mobile version with 200 GB cloud for ~5Euro/month that works only on Apple mobile devices-not on desktop computers. On my PC, I have a license for LR 6, that can be synchronized with my LR CC version.


    Adobe cause most of the confusion... How many plans are out there?!

    With LR6, is it logged into the same account that is used with LRCC Mobile? Maybe go to Help > System Info, and copy the first line. That will help make clear which version you are using. If LR6 will sync, enable sync in the catalogue (Preferences) and it should automatically download everything from the cloud. If LR6 will not sync, then the Lightroom Downloader will download everything that is in Adobe's cloud.

    So the pics in the cloud? Did you make these photos with the camera that is in LR Mobile?

    Hi John, some were made with the LR “camera”, some via iPhone and some with my canon via direct transfer to iPad.

    I was wondering whether older pics/ originals have to be stored at the cloud, or could be saved/stored on an hard drive. Would make my cloud data volume significantly smaller.

    thanks,

    Dirk

    Which cloud are your photos in, Lightroom's or Apple's? It's not clear. The canon direct transfer to the iPad wouldn't put the images in Lightroom unless you uploaded them to Lightroom.
