My experience with LR sync has has been very disappointing.
I have LR on my 13Pro set up to import every photo from the camera roll. I see the DNGs in the LR app on my phone.
After a short time they will appear on my iPad. But to see them in LR Classic on my desktop (mac) can be any where from a few minutes (not usually) to a couple of hours (more likely). For instance I shot 3 images (DNG) at noon this morning and 9 hours later they are still not synced to Classic.
In the past I've quit and reopened LR, paused and restarted Sync, and I've also deleted all Sync data. Sometimes these actions work, sometimes not.
All I want is to have what I shoot on my phone apear on my desktop and I have no clue at this point how to have that consistently happen.
MacOS 12.7.2/LR Classic 13.1

I feel your pain…
It took me a lot of effort to get mine working. Once I did, it really made a difference. The longest wait is now about 3 minutes. The usual time is less than 1 minute.
The following are for a Windows 10 machine:
- Force Sync: Turn sync off and on again
- Optimize the Catalog: File/Optimize Catalog
- Quit & Reopen Lightroom:
I hope this helps

I've tried all of those things at one time or another and I still have incredibly unrpedictable and stagnant syncing with Classic. Right now I can see many new images on the LR online site I shot this morning and yet the sync in Classic is trying to upload Metadata from a couple of locally changed files. Just so frustrating.

It's painful to see that even with the latest/greatest version of LR (14.0), sync is still unpredicable and generally sucky. I've had 50 images in the Sync box for hours now. Really? Maybe if Adobe would spend some of their AI development time getting this to work...

I went to the Sync box and clicked on a few of the 50 images supposedly syncing (uploading). I chose to show them in their Collections. None of the Collections are set to Sync! Why are the images attempting to be uploaded when they aren't even chosen to sync?

Why are images not synced in Classic showing up on the LR website on on mobile devices as being synced?
