Like others said, you cannot sync a full raw image to the cloud from Lightroom Classic, only a smart preview. However, you can replace this smart preview by the full image in the following way:

1: Sync the image from Lightroom Classic

2: Install Lightroom (desktop) on your computer too if you have not done that already

3: Import the original (not an exported copy) in Lightroom desktop. Lightroom desktop will see that there already is a smart preview of this image in the cloud and will replace it by the original raw.

To sync photos FROM Lightroom-Classic to Lightroom-Mobile apps (using Adobe Cloud)- See this link-

SYNC SETUP IN CLASSIC

Note: Sync from LrC sends proxy (smart Preview) files to the Adobe Cloud. (images have a long-edge dimension of 2560pixels)

And more about the "differences"- COMPARE LIGHTROOM & LIGHTROOM-CLASSIC FEATURES

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Are you talking about Lightroom Classic (LrC icon) or Lightroom (Lr) icon? Are you talking about the Adobe cloud, or just some unspecified cloud storage in general?

You said Lightroom, not Lightroom Classic, and so if that's what you are talking about, then your RAW photos are stored in the Adobe cloud. If you are talking about LrC, then you cannot store your RAW photos in the Adobe cloud, but you can share lower resolution versions of your RAW images in the cloud and access those from any mobile device or computer.
