I'm having the same problem. I don't have the space on my laptop hard drive to store my photos. I've been using my Synology NAS just fine with Lightroom "classic". So I'm unable to migrate because I use a NAS?

Right now, yes. But it's very very early days, so hopefully that will change.

Seriously? Is Adobe that inept? Using network storage is NOT uncommon for people in the photography and video fields. Why release a product that sounds like it isn't ready for working professionals? It feels like they've adopted the gaming industry model of duping people into paying to beta test their not-ready software.

How is the Synology reporting to the OS? As a network drive or as a USB external? LRCC won't let you select a network drive at this point in time, so you'd need to plug it in directly to the computer.
