Synching Lightroom mobile library to desktop?

[simona68092184]

I accidentally deleted my Lightroom 7.2 photo library on my desktop. I still have acces to them on the Lightroom app on my phone? Does anyone know how to link the desktop app to the mobile one?

Everything across the Cloud Ecosystem should sync. Therefore, if you delete images on one device, then this will be mirrored on all the others.... so it's strange you can see them on your phone.

Anyway... on the Desktop, have you checked the deleted items folder being as if they are there, they can be restored.

It may be worth posting screenshots of Desktop and Phone so someone can help further.

Thank you for your help. I now have it back.

Can you explain in more detail what exactly you did? If you deleted the images from within the Lightroom Desktop app, then they should also have been removed from your phone if syncing is working. But in that case you can, as @selondon states, restore them from the "Deleted" album.

Or do you mean that you deleted the "Lightroom Library.lrlibrary" package from your Pictures folder on your desktop? If that's the case, you can probably restore that from the Trash and if that doesn't work simply restarting the Lightroom Desktop app will automatically create a new "Lightroom Library.lrlibrary" package and then re-populate it from the master catalog in the cloud.

Thank you so much for replying. I deleted the librarylr package by mistake but it disappeared instead of going to the bin. I've just tried what you suggested and it is now downloading anew. Phew! Thank you very much.

ry syncing your Lightroom mobile app with the Creative Cloud. Ensure that you are logged into the same Adobe account on both your desktop and mobile app. Then, enable sync on your Lightroom desktop app by going to "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Lightroom Sync" and make sure the sync is enabled. Your photos should start appearing on your desktop library once the sync is complete. Hope this helps!
