I have created a large collection of photos on my iPad using the "free" Lightroom mobile version.
I have now purchased a Creative Cloud (CC) plan but for a different email account than the one I'm currently logged in with on my iPad.
The question is: Can I safely log out of Lightroom Mobile and log in with my new account without losing the locally stored photos? I haven't seen a clear answer to this yet.
Another question: My locally stored photos exceed the 20GB cloud storage limit that I have purchased. Can I still use the cloud and select particular folders to upload? I would like to sync at least partially to my desktop.
Each email address you used to sign into Lightroom is a different account, with a different catalog and set of images.

There is yet another option, which is to use Lightroom CC's Share Albums. However, this is geared towards non-LR Classic apps, and you already mentioned the plan you're on might now have enough cloud storage space for all your LR Mobile images. So I won't go into further detail.
I hope something here is helpful

Thanks a lot!
Your first approach (Lightroom Downloader) sounds good. I am interested in keeping the edits (and being able to revert), as well as maintaining the image rating and image flag. I mainly use my iPad to weed out photos. Hopefully that's kept too when using Lightroom Downloader.

I'm currently upgrading my new CC account to 1TB, so using Share Albums would probably be more appropriate as it preserves all the data, including the changes I've made to my photos.
Can I inquire about the Share Album feature?
I will create a shared album on my new CC account to allow my old account to contribute.
Is it possible to upgrade my free LrM account to access cloud storage and then upload all photos directly to the cloud from my iOS device? Or is there another method?
Thank you!

Your paid account can enable sharing on an album, and then invite the free account to join and add photos. Be sure to grant your free account Can Contribute or Can Edit rights -- your free account does not need to subscribe to upload to another user's paid account.
Here's a page that shows shared albums info: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/web/share-your-work/share-and-invite/share-photos-and-albums-fo....

Thanks!
So the shared album should appear in LrM where I'm logged with the old (free) account)?

That is correct
