Lightroom constantly re-syncs photos every time I log on

[shaneo2552464]

Hello

Every time I log into Lightroom Classic CC the process of syncing a large number (hundreds) of photos begins. The number increases up and then as the sync reduces back down to 2 which will not sync for spume reason.

Each time I log in the process seems to restart, going up and then syncing back down. This has happened multiple times. It is not the case that there are new photos to sync and I have not made edits to hundreds of synced photos in the meantime...

Any clues?

Many thanks

Kind regards

Shane

Hi Shane,

We're sorry that Lightroom keeps syncing images each time you open the application. could you please try the following:

• Open Lightroom Classic CC -> Preferences -> Lightroom Sync -> Press alt/option -> Rebuild Sync data.
• Lightroom will restart and syncing will reset and there will be no impact on your images.

Let us know how if goes.

Thanks,

Akash

Hi Akash

Thank you for your message. I tried that but unfortunately whenever I close out and reopen Lightroom the same cycle happens.

I am also having performance issues with Lightroom of late...e.g. frequent appearance of the spinning coloured wheel...I wonder could the two things be related?

Thanks again

Shane

Just to confirm, upgrading to Lightroom 8 seems to have fixed this issue also. Happy days.
