(iPadOS) Importing photos into Lightroom - where are files located?

Hi all,

 

I'm going to give the iPad Pro a go at editing photos. I've imported around 4,000 photos into Lightroom from an external SSD.

 

After importing these photos - where are the files located? Do they remain on the external SSD, or are they now located on the iPad?

 

i.e. when I start to import these, can I continue to use the SSD as the location?

 

Thanks

Also, if you're a subscribed user, and the sync is enabled (by default), the files would be uploaded to the cloud.

The photos are now stored on your iPad, inside the Lightroom application package. A copy remains on the SSD.
