generating URL for sharing a collection

in LR Classic should take how long for about 100 images? They are RAW files, 25Mb in size each (ish) off a Nikon d750.

The "generating url" header just keeps the circle spinning for ages!

    So would I !!

    The problem is that LR freezes when it is syncing about 25-26,000 files and then after a force quit and restart, it goes BACK UP to syncing 27-28,000, then goes down slowly, until the 25-26,000 area and then freezes again. An endless loop. And whilst it is in sync mode, it uses ALL my memory on my MBPro (I have 16gb), not allowing me to do ANYTHING in LR..

    Any more clues?

    Thanks!


    if you're syncing 25,000 25 Mbyte files on a typical broadband connection (usually around 5 Mbit/s upload), it will take approximately 277 hours (i.e. 11 days) to upload them all.

    Sorry that Lightroom is taking too much time to generate a URL for sharing a collection.

     

    Could you please make sure that "sync" is enabled in the Identity plate? Also, you may log in to your lightroom.adobe.com (Lightroom web) to verify the collection has been shared.

    Akash, Sync is indeed enabled in the identity plate, and it is syncing ALL my images, down to about 27,000 now, but I thought if I uninstalled LR CC, it would no longer gtry to sync all my images (85,000 or so..)

    Logging into LR web shows no collections at all as presumably they have yet to be synced..

    Am I doing something wrong (again?)

    Thanks

    My syncing collections from LR Classic has worked fine. Last time was September. Now when I try to generate a URL in a collection of about 25 images, each about 9 MB JPG files, it just keeps churning, after hourse. I have an upload speed of 20 MB. I have quit nd re-started LR multiple times, and have restarted my computer. Still churning. Makes me think something is wrong on Adobe's end, no?


    I am having the same issue, in my experience it is usually pretty quick to generate a URL, although images will upload one at a time once it has been established.

     

    Once I select "Make Public" I just keep getting a spinning wheel and "Generating URL" beside the button.
