I had a Lightroom 4 for a long time and never upgraded until recetly. Unfortunately i lost my catalogs after moving some folders around and never was able to retrieve them. I recently moved all my lightroom photos and folders over to iCloud as I transitioned to a new Mac. I am now trying to move those folder and images (.dng, RAW, and .jpg) over to Lightroom Cloud. I can see the folders and images when attempting to move them but when i click on the little cloud icon nothing happens. Does anyone have advice on easily moving these folders over from iCloud to Lightroom?

This is the Lightroom-Classic forum. (v9.2 being the 'latest' iteration of the Lr 4,5,6,etc, versions).

Lr-Classic does not use original photos in the C-Cloud, they must be stored in local folders. So you would 'move' the folders to local storage, not Adobe Cloud.

 

If you are using Lightroom-CC (the 'new' Cloud version) then this help article would have an answer-
