Importing - Lr iPad

Question

I just signed on to the $10 photographer plan with the limited 20Gig of cloud space, this is a hobby, so for what I do that should be enough.

I installed Lr on the iPad, and it immediately started going through all my images on the iPad and trying to uploaded it, that was a big no no no. So I did what I could to stop that process.

I do want lightroom to upload the images I have imported from the card reader, so that I can either edit from the iPad or the Macbook, but I don't Lr sniffing around all my images on the iPad and uploading everything to the cloud, I only have 20 gig, that will get filled up in no time.

So... is there a way to control what Lr uploads to the cloud ?

By design, all the Lightroom apps will upload all imported images to the cloud. Only Lightroom Classic has a "selective" upload option, i.e. the user decides which images are uploaded to the cloud.

So, if you don't want your iPad images uploaded, you need to stop them being automatically added to the Lightroom Mobile app. You can do that in the Lightroom Mobile settings menu, Import tab, turn off the "Auto Add" options as appropriate.
