Question

Lightroom CC Locally download Album

Is it possible to download an album localy with its name and all photos in that paticular album?

Everytime I click on the "Store album localy" button it stores them on my drive however not with the album name that I gave it in Lightroom but with the date it was taken. 

 

Its an issue because certin albums are work in progress. So when I "Store album localy" it will pick all my photos from 2014 and store them in a folder marked 2014 even though the Lightroom album that im trying to store from has a mix batch of photos ranging form diffrent years. 

 

Is there a solution to this?

Lightroom doesn't work this way. The master images are always in the cloud. When you store an Album locally, you create a local synced version. This allows you to work on the images while offline, but the master is always the cloud version. You can't use Lightroom with a local folder structure. Lightroom Classic works with locally stored images. It may be a better solution for you.

Im not syned to the cloud I opted out of that option. So unfortunally my photos are stored somewhere but not in the cloud. When I downloaded Lightroom CC I imained it was the same as the original so I didnt look too much into it. Until recently when I ended my CC subscription and wanted to store my photos on a diffrent HardDrive is when I realized I had made a mistake. 

 

 

Thank you for explaining Lightroom CC it makes more sence to me now.

You really do NOT want to do that with Lightroom (the cloud based version). There is a very large potential to lose data if you use it this way. If you only want to store images locally you really should use Classic.
