Save full size raws on mobile until user requests delete

The best editing on an iPad where raw files have been copied directly to the iPad occurs before the full sized images have synced and are removed from the iPad.  If I keep the iPad offline, all is good, but who lives offline?

I assume this work the same way on all mobile?  

I'd like to be able to make it through initial culling without having to wait for full size images to download back to the machine, please!

There are several ways to achieve that, but perhaps the most secure would be to first ensure the option to "Only download smart previews" is disabled (Settings>Cloud Storage & Sync tab). Then put all the target images into an album, then in the Albums list tap on the tri-dot icon for that album and enable the "Store Locally" option. That would ensure that the originals are not deleted locally after the sync upload has completed.

Yes, yes, yes! Thank you Jim Wilde - I didn't realize that Lightroom Mobile had the option to select store locally.  Transformative - I really appreciate your answer!
