Confused About Storage Quota For Photographer Plans

I have the $9.99 Photographer Plan and I am being confused about how much photos I can upload to Creative Cloud.

My workflow is 100% Mobile: I shot RAW files, that I import to LR Mobile on my iPad. Then I let the photos sync to Creative Cloud.

I know that my plan includes 20GB of storage; indeed, this is what assets.adobe.com shows. However, when I open the LR app, I can see that it says clearly that I have 1TB of storage (the storage being used there is consistent with being associated with the RAW files that I uploaded to the cloud).

I have a few questions:

  1. Am I limited on the the storage of RAW files to 1TB? I remember reading once that “photos syncing” was unlimited with LR mobile, though I am not sure if this applies to JPG photos only, and not to RAW files.
  2. What happens if I need more than 1TB?
  3. I subscribed that plan before the new LR plans that were announced this month. Did the announcements changed anything regarding mobile-related workflows? I can see that 1TB now exists, but they are way more expensive that what I am paying for, although I believe this is 1TB for the Creative Cloud, not for LR itself.
  4. I am still confused about all this, could it be that photos (JPG + RAW files) now count towards your CC storage, and are no longer unlimited?

I have tried searching this forum for similar questions, but did not find any. Thanks to anyone that can help me understand how this all works!

    If you're 100% mobile and don't use Classic or Photoshop on the desktop, it would be worth you cross-grading to the new Lightroom CC + 1TB plan. It's $9.99, same as your current plan, but is better suited to your needs.

    It is limited to 1TB (the unlimited before was a bit of a loophole), but you can buy extra storage at $9.99 per TB, which is about the same as most cloud storage solutions. That 1TB is shared between Lightroom Sync and Creative Cloud, so you can use it to store any kind of files you like.

      Thank you Victoria Bampton LR Queen!

      If I understand correctly, basic Photographer plan has 20GB of Cloud Storage, and “unlimited” separated LR storage, that has been “corrected” to 1TB.

      Everytime I upload a RAW file, this file counts towards my LR quota, that I can upgrade for $9.99 per terabyte (and, I assume, per month).

      Am I correct this time?

      Thanks a lot!

      Any image files (Raw, JPEG, TIFF, etc) that you import into Lr CC will be synced to the cloud, and count towards your data usage.
