How can I upload directly to cloud not on device storage

[Sania32784657z1bq]

Hello, I have downloaded the LR APP on the iphone & ipad and started uploading files from the image gallery album by album... but it turns out it is taking up Gigas from both my devices. I am clearing the cache, but both devices are about to crash..

How can I upload directly to cloud?

Is there a way to upload the albums directly to cloud, without the manual one by one upload?

I bought the license primarily because I wanted to used the cloud storage feature.

Thank you!!!

To upload to Lightroom cloud storage, the app must import the files.  After files are synced, you can then purge what's currently in the app cache to free up device storage. 

Tap the 3-dots button at the top right, open Lr App Settings > Local Storage, and tap 'Clear cache.'

Thank you! How do I do that on the MAC? I downloaded the APP and it is now downloading from the external drive. I assume it does not require WiFi for that. But I do not see the three dots on the App version in Mac ... where would it be? Thank you!

It may be worth uploading in smaller chunks and letting them sync before clearing the cache and proceed with the nest group.

Thank you! You are absolutely right. I did not realize how long it takes to upload. Am doing it now from the external drive. I appreciate 😃😂
