Hello, i'm using Lightroom since 3 years now, but my online storage is close to be full.

In fact, i want all my photo on my local hard disk which is ok, i found them, but i want online only shared album, that's the point non working as i had new pictures to Lightroom it automaticly upload them on the cloud which is resulting slow working (when wifi is weak) and saturing my cloud storage.
When i'm deleting shared album it didn't give me back free space on cloud storage !

2 questions : 

 

  1. How to do to have all pictures only on local storage et only shared album on cloud storage ?

  2. How to manage cloud storage with a creative cloud 100 Go account ?

    Thanks for answers.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I'd love to clarify this for you.

 

Adobe Lightroom cannot allow selective syncing as this is a cloud-based application. Lightroom relies on cloud storage to keep the original images.

To best suit your needs, Lightroom Classic would be the go-to application. It will be a great learning curve to begin with. We are here to help.

Now, all of your Original images with Edits & Editing Presets are backed up. You can empty the Lightroom Library by going to Lightroom Web (https://lightroom.adobe.com). Click on your user icon on the right > Account Info > Delete Lightroom Library. Please only do this once you are sure you have backed up everything, as this is irreversible & can not be undone. Check this discussion thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-ecosystem-cloud-based-discussions/how-do-i-clear-my-lightroom-cloud-storage/m-p/9721021#M20906

Lightroom Classic is vast & very different in terms of the user interface. Please check these FAQs & tutorials before you begin syncing with Cloud.

    We understand. Adobe Lightroom Downloader might not save directly to a network drive.
    Please download everything on the internal storage & then later, you can move the images to the network drive & Lightroom Classic works with images on the external drive.

     

    Let us know if this helps,

    Thanks!
