Lightroom Classic Sync Stuck

Running Lightroom Classic 9.4 on MacOS 10.15.6 

Sync is telling me it's syncing 97 photos, but has been stuck on that for weeks. With nothing moving to the cloud.  Bassically just stuck.  

In Lightroom Sync Preferences Sync Activity it says there are 0 Uploading, 0 Downloading, 0 Pending.  

I've tried rebuild sync data, but that hasnt changed anything.  

Any new ideas?

Thanks

Freddy

As far as I am aware this process will include rebuilding the sync data for all your synced images so it will take time dependent on the number of files involved.

Close :LrC then open the File Manager program for the OS you are using. Go to the Folder that your LrC catalog is stored in and Delete the "CatalogName" Sync.lrdata folder. Then Open/Start LrC.

 

Another thing to try, possibly first, is to go into the LrC Prerfernces, the Sync tab, Hold down the Alt key and Click the button to "Rebuild Sync Data".

Hello, 

I tried rebuilding Sync Data, now all  my synced photos are stuck (over 5,000).

Why might that be?

Thank you.

I assume this catalog will rebuild itself?

Will it take long?


It is NOT the Catalog file you are deleting. It is the LrC SYNC with Mobil folder. And Yes it will be recreated.
