Sync or Copy Albums Created in Lightroom CC to Lightroom Classic?

I started a project album in Lightroom CC. Is there a way to sync or copy the album into Lightroom Classic?

I know how to sync the other way around (from Classic to CC) and for what it's worth, all these photos also reside on my desktop (i.e., in Lr Classic).

Collections in Classic sync up to the cloud. Can the reverse happen to CC Albums (even though they're not called Collections)?

If you mean do albums created in LRCC sync to Classic, then yes they do. Collections in Classic and Albums in LRCC will remain in sync for as long as the Classic catalog is sync enabled.....so a collection synced from Classic will appear as an album in LRCC, and an album created in LRCC will appear as a collection in Classic.

If sync is activated in LR Classic all originals in the cloud should download automatically based on your preference settings e.g. into a specific named folder or dated sub-folders.

Yes, I recently figured that out. Sorry I realized my question wasn't clear. Collections in Classic sync up to the cloud. Can the reverse happen to CC Albums (even though they're not called Collections)?

Any file added directly to LRCC in an album is automatically sync’d to the cloud. The only difference is that LRCC stores the original in the cloud whereas LR Classic will only sync a smaller smart preview from a collection.
