You can make the synced gallery (collection) publicly available, and then send the gallery’s link to the team. If all they need to do is view the photos, then you’re all set. If they need to be able to comment on the photos, then they need to sign in with Adobe IDs first. If they need to be able to download photos, you’ll need to enable that functionality by going to lightroom.adobe.com, logging in with your adobe ID, and then configuring the desired options for the shared gallery. I think that should do it. However, I believe the download size will be limited to the size of the smart previews for each photo.

I have read a number of your articles on using Lightroom Classic and the cloud. I don’t think you have addressed my question.

I run a large website and I want my photos to be viewable by my team of writers, editors, and social media people. If I upload to the cloud, how do I make them available to others?

You just want to stick with Lightroom Classic. Go ahead and uninstall the Lightroom cloud app on your Mac.

I had my wife put a new OS on my desk top Mac and reinstall Lr. It looks nothing like the Lr Im Im use to and I’m very confused. The work flow is all different. Cloud cost money after a certain amount of storage right? I use to use my external hard drive to store edited photos than delete what i don’t use. Looking at this is new style is over whelming. The idea sounds good but I want my old Lr back in someways. The cloud confuses me. Its hard to delete files and if i do it deletes photos off phone ect. Access from many devices sounds good but I’m working with several thousand files at a time, importing through Photomechanic to edit, than saving a handful for albums, media, and sending a few for publication. Photography is getting more technically computer oriented every year. I need some serious hand holding here. Where do i begin???? I gotta figure this out. How do I find out what best will work for me. Maybe Lr Classic on one computer and CC on another? Put only a select group on cloud. Old dog new trick. Lets do this!!

Hi Yvonne, If you wish to only store photos in the cloud, then do not use Lightroom Classic. Don’t make the switch. Stick to just the Lightroom only plan and use the cloud version of Lightroom.

Can I ask… I do not wish to store any of my photos on the Mac as it’s not my computer and do not wish to use any of its storage, i just wish to use the cloud- is this possible and if so, what do I need to do please? I’m just in the process of transferring my photos from Lightroom (cloud based) and clicked the sync button which seems to be working so far. Please excuse me, I’m complete novice. Many thanks, Yvonne

Hi Cherie,

First, and foremost, make sure you have a local copy of ALL photos before you do anything else. Then, check out this post that is more specific to what you are trying to do: https://lightroomkillertips.com/migrate-from-the-cloud-based-lightroom-to-lightroom-classic/

Newbie Lightroom user, trying to get set up appropriately. This article is very helpful. I hope you will advise me on the safest way to get from Point A where I am now to Point B. My impulse is to pause sync in Classic. Delete all photos in cloud. Turn sync back on in Classic. But this makes me very nervous.

Point A – I have 6600 full res photo originals in the cloud because I started with LR cloud only. Laptop has LR Classic only and is syncing to cloud with option to store originals on hard drive. Currently subscribed to the Photography 1TB plan.

Point B – Following your recommendations in this post – downgrade plan to Photography 20GB, ditch full res cloud storage and keep local storage only with Classic. Use Mobile and LR CC to view the smart previews only and share to web.

What would be the appropriate sequence of steps to get from A to B without losing anything?

Your posts and help are appreciated more than you can know.

Thanks in advance,

Cherie Moritz

Hi Clive,

You can only install and be logged into Lightroom for desktop (Mac and Win) one two computers simultaneously. I don’t know of any limits on mobile devices though. I am logged into Lightroom for cloud currently on a Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Android phone with no problem.

An interesting article, thank you.
I have a question and a can I ?

I have lightroom on my desktop and tablet, I can install a free on onto my android phone, if I link that to my lightroom subscription will it knock off one of my other lightrooms or do I effectively get a third copy?

If I can, can I take a photo with my phone, this will give me a phone with the map GPS, continue to take the rest with my camera (no GPS) then upload the camera photo to the cloud and download to my classic Lightroom.

Hope this makes sense.

Clive
