Help - how do I transfer my Lightroom (cloud) library from one account to another?

Question

Hi, I need help quickly please.My work has told me they will be cancelling my Adobe subscription to save on costs (I am a freelancer and my contract will be ending soon), so I need to transfer everything I have in Lightroom to my personal account which I need to renew.I have a lot of work - both personal and work related - on Lightroom, and I don't want to lose anything which has happened in the past.What is the easiest and most efficient way to transfer these images from one Adobe Creative Cloud account to another?Thank you in advance

Once you renew your personal account and if you have time you could try to use the shared album and contribute route, which hopefully should work, you could try this....

• Create Album on Personal account.
• Enable Sharing for that Album.
• Invite email associated to your Work account.
• Ensure you give the Work account Can Contribute rights.
• Accept invite associated with Work account and sign in to Work account.
• Add Photos to Album shared from new account.

This will transfer photos over including edits without having to export the photos.
You could transfer all photos to that Album and sort them from there, however it maybe easier to mirror your Albums in the new account and share each one (although you will have to accept an email for each album).
