Having Lightroom mobile premium and Adobe photography plan simultaneously

I have been using the Lightroom mobile premium with 100gb storage space and I'm confused how it would work if i also subscribe to the Adobe photography plan with 20gb storage space that includes lightroom mobile. Would my lightroom mobile storage decrease to 20gb or would it stay at 100gb?

 

Would it be best to just have different IDs for these plans as i don't need that much storage for photoshop but i would like to have a subscription to the app and the photography plan seems to be cheaper than just photoshop plan

Correct answer Charlie.D

If you keep you existing Lightroom Mobile subscription, and add the Photography 20 GB plan:
* your storage amount will stay at the greater value = 100 GB (it will not increase to 120 GB)

* you gain access to Lightroom & Lightroom Classic for Mac or PC, and Photoshop.

 

Here is a page that describes different plans and Lightroom cloud storage amounts:

If you subscribe to any of these desktop plans, know that they all also include Lightroom Mobile access, which may make your mobile subscription redundant.  If you cancel the mobile plan, and keep the desktop plan, Lightroom will keep the cloud storage amount that your desktop plan provides (20 GB or 1 TB). 

 

My opinion: if you don't need Photoshop, just Lightroom, and 20 GB isn't enough to store all your photos in the cloud, the Lightoom 1 TB plan is the best value.  You get 10X the cloud storage amount compared to the mobile-only plan, plus you can use Lightroom on all devices (mobile and desktop)
