Uploading . . . pending sync issue

Just started with Lightroom CC. Some photos uploaded, but now stuck for more than a day with "Uploading . . . . 3919 pending on my mobile. I have updated both the desktop and the mobile app. When I go to lightroom.adobe.com I can see that 3919 files have sync issues. I can select them all. Should I delete them and try adding again from my mobile? They are on my mobile phone. If I delete them in lightroom.adobe.com, will that delete them from my mobile? What do you recommend, since 641 uploaded by the rest didn't. I still have room in the 20gigs in the cloud.

Well, somehow the process started up again this morning and completed the sync of all the photos. Not sure why. So problem solved.

I had this problem for months and then I freed up some more space on my phone and syncing started working.  I am not sure if it was because I deleted photos that were holding up or if there was not enough space to sync.  Maybe this will help someone.

Did it help to update to the latest 4.3 version?

Btw please let us know which clients beside Lr Mobile on iOS that you use for syncing.

Thanks,
Ignacio

      Dear ignacio

      I have the latest version on both my devices..

      right now the updating is started again.. (sloooowly very very slowly.. but it works)

      for all that have the same problem..

      I noted that the uploading process was stoped when I‘ve downloaded the app (iPhone) and back to upload after I‘ve fiddled with settings.. coincidence or not ? I don’t know but  i’m Sure that I don’t know what I did on setting

        Hi,

        is this issue occurring on your device or on the desktop?
        Could you please let us know which version of Lightroom CC on the desktop that you are using and which you are using on the mobile side (iOS/Android).

        Thanks,
        Ignacio
