How to download/export all my cloud images?

[garyc78841338]

Hi how can I donwload all my cloud images?

My storage is full and I wish to move all files stored in the cloud account to my computer for archiving while maintaining their edits.

It would be extremely impractical and time cosnuming to select and export each image one by one so I am looking for a way to export all my images and then completely delete all images stored in the cloud.

You can select all images at the same time and hit export and export as original+settings. No need to select them one by one. You can also use the Lightroom Downloader app (free download from Adobe). That will in one fell swoop download all images but it often forgets the settings files due to a strange bug some people experience with it.

If you want to be certain that you retain all associated settings (edits and metadata) then exporting as "Original + Settings" is the only sensible way to do it. As you say, Jao, the Downloader is too unreliable for that.

Hello!
I would like to know why I cannot export all images to my hard drive (for example 150, 250 or 596 attēlus) at once ? A message displayed that some files (specific file numbers) were not exported.
Lightroom version has been updated. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the program.
When I export files in batches, up to 30 files at a time, it helps for a while, but then the message that some files were not exported pops up again.
I use Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
Why might this problem be happening?
