Transfer Lightroom CC created Folders or Albums to Classic

I have loaded and scrubbed 100K pictures in the new Lightroom CC. I have created folders and albums. I'd like to take a folder or album into the Classic Lightroom to produce presentations, print books, etc. which are beyond the current capabilities of Lightroom CC.

How do I do this, or have a wasted an incredible amount of time trying to get organized.

    Hi Leon,

    Your images uploaded in Lightroom CC do sync back to Lightroom Classic CC and the folder structure remains the same. Collections become Albums in Lightroom CC and vice versa. Also, the full resolution originals of your photos uploaded in Lightroom CC sync back to Lightroom Classic CC.

    I would recommend you to let those images sync to Lightroom Classic CC, enable the sync in Classic CC and it will download images from the cloud into your desktop Lightroom Classic CC catalog. You may refer How to sync Lightroom Classic CC desktop with Lightroom CC

    Thanks,

    Not the issue.

    When I organize in LRCC, I used Folders for the grouping of related albums. By not transferring the folder information I get a jumble of albums (=Collections) which are mixed and incoherent.

    Hierarchical organization is the only type of organization that can properly track thousands of images and strips.

    When I work in Classic LR, I'd like to bring over a folder with all its albums and deal with it, or at least see the albums within their folder hierarchy. Otherwise, I really do not have a usable system syncing Classic and CC.
