Multi-User Lightroom

My team of 3 all needs to work on images, access each other's work, and have their changes visible on our machines. The photos are stored on a server, with high speed connections, in the same room as us.

Is there any way within lightroom that we can share, synch or otherwise have the same photos on all of our computers? The image library is nearly 1TB, and just outputting images to a "finished" directory removes all of the flexibility that lightroom offers.

Any insight would be great - I don't believe the company that makes InCopy for collaborative writing has ignored collaborative photo editing!

Lightroom can't do this. Your best bet with Adobe tools is to use Adobe Bridge.

This may not be the answer that you would hope for based on your post however, Lightroom was not designed to be a multi-user app. Please take a look at this discussion thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/Lightroom-Classic/Multiple-Users-on-Lightroom-Or-Other-Solution/td-p/5194914

There may be an option though if you use synced collections. Teammates can then access the catalog via their browser, make their edits and then the master catalog will be updated when it is next opened. Using the browser version will also allow for commenting so that the team can communicate about edits they made or want to have made. You would still have to be careful of people tripping over each other and overwriting each other.
