How do I select specific folders and / or pictures for syncing with CC cloud

I am new to LR CC.

We have thousands of pictures. After I imported some folders into LL CC it started syncing randomly.

I disabled syncing by disablig at the cloud symbol.

How do I select the folders and pictures I want to have synced and start syncing (don't find any answer to it)?

Thanks

Thanks for the answer.

But without making selections, this would go beyond our bandwith and usabillity.

We tried LR Classic, not really our cup of tea.


It's very early days, so might I suggest you add your vote to this request for selective sync: Lightroom CC: Selective Sync | Photoshop Family Customer Community

it is 2021...

is it because of Covid-19 that's why there is no option to only be selective about syncing?

i have clients who are iffy about the idea that some of our assets are being stored elsewhere.

why is this option still not available?

Seriously. If there is cloud storage, we should be able to select what files get saved to the cloud and what files don't. This isn't a hard request and we pay a lot of money for Creative Cloud for such a basic function

Once you click Add X Pictures the sync appears to be as you indicate.
If you want only some folders at a time synced maybe add folders/albums in small batches. That way you have ultimate control of the synced file/album/folder structure.

What you ask sounds like a good candidate for a future feature request.

It means, every folder I create (and every picture I add) will be synced at this time?

Yes, it's a cloud client, so the central storage location is in the cloud. Selective sync may be added in future, but we have no idea on timescales.

If you don't want to sync your photos to the cloud, you may prefer Lightroom Classic instead.
