Question

Photo Library to be shared by Teams

Hi everyone,

I am an admin user for a not for profit organisation. I have 3 full Adobe CC licenses for 3 users/ people in my team. We want to move our image library from SharePoint/ Dropbox into LR CC, so that all of us can access the one library from all 3 licenses.

 

I have a personal account too with 2TB storage that seems super easy and simple.  Yet with this I cannot get a solution through the Adobe chat and I think the agents are getting annoyed with me/ or do not know how to help me. I have been passed around 10 different ones today and the customer experience is really not great.

 

Am I missing something? Is what I am asking for not possible? It seems so logical to me that the three of us can all upload and manage our image library from our 3 licenses (since Adobe doesn't allow sharing of accounts). Lightroom CC is by far better than many other image galleries I have used. This seems like such a logical solution and product offering. Like a mini DAM/ just shared libraries.

I’m not sure how well this will work for your organization, but Adobe acquired frame.io, which is a cloud-based workgroup media manager, and they recently added cloud Lightroom support for it. It might be possible to use a frame.io project that all of your Lightroom users would connect to. It’s only in beta for now, and the main point of the frame.io integration is their camera-to-cloud connection, but images can also be added manually.

 

A basic level of frame.io is included with some Creative Cloud plans, so whether it would be an additional fee depends on your organization’s plan.

 

If you want to look into this, read:

As far as I know (even with a teams plans) this still isn't possible.

 

You can only share Albums by email invite that have Edit and Contrbute settings (and even then there are some restrictions on editing Metadata I believe).

 

If this was possible at Folder level, then it would be possible to share a whole or partial Library with another user.

 

Here's a feature request you can Upvote:

    Thanks for your response @selondon. I have upvoted that feature. It seems like it is a work around for now. I hope they will consider this soon as the features for SME's and smaller teams.
