How to access CC photos in Classic?

[Jonathan Perkins]

I've seen some Youtube videos showing users accessing CC photos in classic, but I don't see my CC photos in the Classic interface. Sync is turned on and both apps are logged into the same account. Help! Thank you.

When you turn on the sync with Lightroom all photos that are in the cloud will start downloading to your computer. Look in the All Synced Photos collection in the Catalog panel to find them. 

By default the photos download to your pictures folder on the startup drive. Make sure you have enough space on your drive.

Hi, and thank you. In "All Synced Photographs" I have nothing, and it's really confusing to me. I'm logged in with the same email address.

In this catalogue, is Sync active or is it paused? You can see this at on the left hand side of the top panel.

Using a web browser, when you log into your account at https://lightroom.adobe.com/libraries, what do you see?

You are correct, I discovered this last night. Just turning sync on in preferences is not sufficient--you have to go to the upper left corner and turn it on there. As soon as I did that, photos started synchronizing to Lightroom Classic from the cloud.

Thanks!
