As of April 2025, Lr mobile "local" access is restricted to the Albums within the Apple Photos app.
I would like access to any local files stored on the iPad, in my case an M2 iPad Pro 6th Gen. This is because I want to copy files from memory cards to local iPad storage, but not upload all files to Adobe Cloud.
The Lr import browser can already access iPad Files locations, but this only shows a reduced size import window, unlike import from Connected camera/card, and does not have filtering, e.g. Photos or RAW.
