Is there a YouTube or tutorial or document that explains synching DNGs from iPhone to LR Classic

Question

I shoot with three cameras.

For my Olympus Tough and OM-D I import to Lightroom Classic regularly. I have a good workflow and an excellent backup process.

On my iPhone I have not built a workflow I like. I think Lightroom on my iPhone might be the solution but I am not sure. On the iPhone I use ProCamera these days and shoot RAW+JPEG, but I might use another iPhone camera someday that captures RAW (aka DNG). I sometimes do quick edits on my iPhone in SnapSeed. Ideally I would like to import everything from my iPhone to my LR Classic on some irregular basis and delete the old files from my iPhone when I feel like it and manage my complete collection of photos on my MacBook with Lightroom Classic.

I tried LR on my iPhone once before and thought I had a process but it filled up my 20GB of Adobe cloud space which stopped that process. That's another mess I need to clean up.

Thanks Theresa_J - your reply is verifying that I am headed in the right direction. My process was working then stopped because my cloud space filled up - I had not been paying attention to that space and didn't understand it.

This article heped:

Especially this paragraph which you also confirm:

Delete All Synced Data removes all the image data and synced information from Creative Cloud, including previews, metadata, and develop settings. Original photos stored on your computer aren't affected. All the collections are also preserved, but their sync settings are reset.

The Lightroom mobile images will automatically download to a hard drive when synced with Lightroom Classic. You can then delete those images from the cloud. They will remain in the Classic catalog. You can use Lightroom on your mobile device, or Lightroom on the web to delete them. Or you can delete them from the All Synced Photos collection in Lightroom Classic. Just make sure the photo has actually downloaded to your hard drive before you delete it.
