Lightroom Mobile Export Location Issues

I am running the Lightroom mobile app (10.5.4) on two different Android 15 phones.

One is an S23 Ultra, the other is a Z Fold 6.

On both phones, I am experiencing an issue when exporting my edits.

 

The exported file is saving in the same folder as the original file instead of the Adobe Lightroom folder that exports have been going into for some time now.

I have tried both "Save copy to device" and the longer "Export as..." options with no changes.

I also am not presented with a way to choose the file location for a single or for all exports.

 

When the export is finished, the exported file name is the same as the original, with a .JPG extension instead of the original's .jpg.

Since this is showing up in the same folder as the original, I'm concerned about this causing an issue.

This has also completely trashed my mobile workflow.

 

The application has full permissions and optimizations have been disabled.

I have cleared all app data and reinstalled the app to no avail.

 

Is anyone else having this issue and have any solutions been found?

Hey, @DKOPhoto. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. 

 

Is Lightroom installed from the Galaxy Store or Google Play Store? If so, could you share a video showing this behavior?  

 

Awaiting to hear from you! Thanks!
