How to make Lightroom Mobile On iPad Offline usable

Hello everyone,

I have been using my iPad Pro as my main photo editing tool for a long time now. I mainly work as a DP so I havent been taking many photos lately. And for last 2 weeks I`ve been traveling trough Slovenia and taking pictures and editing them on my iPad as I used to. But as I travel my photos sometimes upload to cload and are just gone from the iPad (all that remains are "previews"), and I can not edit them on the road or export and upload or do anything with... I just have to come back to beter conection and even then I wait fot every single photo to be downloaded when I want to edit.

It is the worse User Experience I have ever head and it totally ruins what i liked about Lightroom so much.

Is there any way for me to keep my RAW files locally on the iPad?

In the cloud menu there is "local - Preview - not editable" and "cloud backup - Original" so I know It is set up wrong for me. I just didnt find a way to change it.

Also, I will report this as a bug as well, becouse some times the original doesn`t load .. ever. Even thou I`m connected to a very good internet connection.

Best regard to anyone who would be able to help.
Thank you, Adam

absolutely same issue, and also sometimes i want to clean my shots before uploading them on my cloud, and since i am a report/event photographer, sometimes i have more than 2k photos from single day, so this new update makes absolutely impossible to work on the run.
