I take photos on my iPhone and I want to chose 1 to edit and then post where I chose. I do not want to auto sync every photo I take with the app. I have to put my phone in airplane mode to stop this process. Otherwise my slow DSL upload is all clogged up by this app uploading everything I take. Please give me a switch to disable the auto sync on the iphone.
That's for Creative Cloud sync space Maarten. That's separate to the Lightroom Sync space, for which they haven't currently announced a limit (but I have 600GB up there right now).

Ok thanks! Didn't know that it was separate. I hoped that could be a work around to stop the syncing (and thus stop the misuse of valuable data-usage).
I don't think they are AWARE of what the problem is. Rikk's post above seems to indicate they don't I can't imagine the designers would think not being able to turn sync off was a good idea. I pretty much gave up on using Mobile a while back but still check any new updates.
This issue is gruesome. I am currently traveling and only have access to very slow wifi. Not being able to switch off the auto-sync in Lightroom Mobile has rendered my iPad Pro almost useless. This should be a stop-everything-and-fix this priority for the Adobe Lightroom Mobile team.
To be fair, there's a big difference between "not interested" and "not yet considered the highest priority". They're not sat twiddling their thumbs purposely ignoring requests, but like everything in life, priority decisions have to be made.
(To be clear, I fully support the need for a pause sync button too- I run into the same issue)

These are issues and functionalities that can easily get lost on a development team working in and around wireless connectivity performing at the gigabit-level.
Nice app but should be able to stand alone with a wired sync to Lightroom desktop. It then becomes useful when in remote locations. Not everyone and everywhere has unlimited data access.
Pls add this feature. My mobile data volume was empty and my wife opened a Hotspot with her mobile phone, so that I could check my mails etc...
Previously I paused my Lightroom synch. But what happens? Lightroom is synching despite having paused the process. So all my wife's data volume is gone as well...... So next time she won't open a Hotspot unless I deinstall lightroom xD
How is it possible that the pictures are uploaded despite pausing the synch process? Pls fix this.
edit: I use the built in camera function from the lightroom mobile app with my Android phone
Is it possible to completely disable cloud sync of Lightroom mobile? I dont want to allow uploading of any of my photos from my mobile device on Adobe cloud inside Adobe Lightroom.
I know there is a feature to temporarily pause syncing. But I want to comletely disable sync of photos to Adobe cloud from iOS device. Please help.
Add feature to LR mobile for iOS that allows users to disable uploading photos to cloud. I don't want my photos in cloud and prefer to backup all my work locally. It appears that this is a fairly common request among LR users. If I cannot disable LR mobile cloud backups, I will simply remove app from my phone. LR might occassionaly be "convenient" but it is certainly not essential.
Having thousands of photos upload every time I open the app when I only have to edit a few really slows me down. I now have to dig through thousands of photos just to find one because I can't reupload them either. Please make an option to disable instead of just pausing.
The moment I pointed a new install of Lightroom to a folder on my Mac, it started copying files to the Creative Cloud. This is definitely an undesired and unexpected behavior. There should be a File handling pref in Lightroom (like Photoshop) that allows one to turn off this at the app level. It's taken me over an hour to find this info out. Not the best new user experience. Photoshop also failed to install for some reason. I had to restart the computer and then it worked. The whole CC ecosystem approach is autocratic and somewhat poorly thought out. I can expect this from Microsoft, but not from Adobe. Make this option much easier and more transparent.
@Boo31511302zd3d It's not entirely clear what happened, but which version of Lightroom did you install?
If you installed the cloud-based Lightroom desktop, that would be entirely expected behavior, since it's completely designed around storing photos in the cloud so they're accessible on all devices. If you'd prefer to store your photos on your computer, Lightroom Classic would be a better choice for you.

Thanks for the Response Victoria. I finally figured this out yesterday. I had installed LR CC. The installer did not make the differences apparent and at one point only offered the Creative Cloud install. Finding info on LR classic on the website and the differences is not all that easy. Creative Cloud is pushed as the holy grail of solutions and for collaborative groups that may be true but not for all.
