I am in Lightroom Cloud having imported images and want to save them locally. I know that by clicking on the image I can make it available offline but cant locater where on my hard drive it is saved. Any suggestions?

In Lightroom Cloud, images synced for offline use are stored in a local cache, not in a user-accessible folder. To save them locally:

Select the photos in Lightroom.
Go to File Export and choose a destination folder on your hard drive.
This creates a copy in your specified location.

Hi @Stephen17156821hmam! 😊

In the preferences, you should be able to select the folder where the originals will be stored. It might look a bit different on your end, but in my Data folder, there's a folder with a bunch of numbers as its title. Inside, there's an "originals" folder with the photos.

Hope this helps! Thanks!

HI Alek, Many thanks for your advice. I have done as you advise and I note that the photos I uploaded into the Lightroom Cloud are now synced and available off line but I still cant locate them! I have looked in the Lightroom and Adobe folders within Pictures on my Mac but in each folder there is a message "The folder does not contain any editable files".Any more suggestions?
