I wonder how I can download my photos from my Creative Cloud. I have a lot of pictures uploaded via Lightroom mobile to Creative Cloud, where I easily can see all my folders and files in the app. But how to download all these folders and files to an external hard drive? There is no drag and drop possibility? What to do....?

There's an option in Lightroom (the desktop app) to store a copy of all your original cloud-based files to your local hard drive (see the Preferences>Local Storage tab). Note, however, that's a copy of the original files, so would not include any edits that you may have applied. As such, they are pretty useless if you are thinking about using them in another app on your desktop. If you can explain why you want them downloaded we might be able to advise on the best way to achieve that.

ok, this sounds a bit tricky... The problem is that I have one synced catalog with about 15000 pictures - all stored in Creative Cloud. The I have another catalog, locally stored on a hard drive with more pictures. I want to have all my files stored on a hard drive and not in two different places. And my harddrive catalog isn't possible to open in Lightroom mobile either. So I kind of messed it up, and want to have all files stored in one place

All my files in the cloud were uploaded via Lightroom mobile, and they are only in the cloud. So do I get them down from there? That's the question

Answer Jim's questions. If you use Lightroom Classic and have a synced catalog, then these images are not only in the cloud. Lightroom Classic downloads all cloud images if you sync its catalog.
