Thanks for this great video, very helpful! One question... does lightroom become faster when images are stored on the local internal ssd, for insrance when scrolling theoigh the images? Does lightroom make use of these images or does it download the images from the cloud/uses the cache anyways...? Thank you much!
Would this be the best way to create a local storage backup of my Lightroom Cloud photos that maintains the many Folders and Albums I created in Lightroom? I want to not only protect against Adobe's servers crashing, but also anticipate the possibility that my kids (who will inherit my photo collection) might not want to maintain a Lightroom Cloud subscription when I'm gone. Thanks!
Can you explain how LR's new feature of allowing local access to image files stores information about the changes made to images without using a catalog? Are sidecar files used for this?
Don’t think it works on Mac. The cache folder that upload to cloud must be located on the internal drive. Applies to other cloudservices as well. Made me switch back to Windows. I have lot of photos. Good video👍
If "store a copy of all originals" is turned on for an external and images are imported to LR cloud without the drive connected, will they automatically sync back to the drive next time it is plugged in? Thanks!
What if i set it up as you said, everything is synced and backed up, but they I want to delete some of the photos? Lets say I delete 10 photos from Lightroom. Will they get deleted from the local hard drive (backup) as well?
I am confused, do you never delete bad pictures with LR, with the cloud. So if You take say 50 burst pictures of a car driving by they just all go to the cloud ? . . . or can you select and delete so you aren't charged for as many GBs a month ?
Yep, they all go to the cloud initially, then you cull them down to your favorites and delete the ones you don't need. That removes them from the cloud.
FALSE - lightroom cloud SUCKS! Try living in Alaska with our crappy internet. THe cloud crashes the system because is sucks all the bandwidth from the entire office. Adobe just wants our money. We need to bypass and NEVER use cloud. Adobe sucks. I can't believe every think that allowing us to use are own harddrive is "gamechanging'. You do realize this ability was ALWAYS available. They just forbid it.

Thank you much!
It does become much faster, yes!

This would be a way to backup the photos! However your folders and albums will still only exist inside of Lightroom.

Yes! We will have a dedicated video on it soon.

Thanks! It does work on Mac. This plan has been employed by me and many of my students over the past few months, many of whom use Mac.

Yep!

Yep! The local drive is an exact match to what's on the cloud and what you see in Lightroom.

Oh, I agree entirely! In order for Lightroom cloud to make sense, you need fast, reliable internet 90% of the time.
