I had the situation where I have a mapped drive, and some how got the situation where when I imported a new folder it wasn’t coming into the mapped drive location but the another folder under the mapped drive location and showing as a new drive (green light) in Lightroom folders).
After reading your article I tried the “update folder location” for the folders showing up in separate drive now every thing resides under the correct folder/drive in Lightroom folders. Thanks

Hi Mark, I’m not sure I fully understand your question and setup. Unfortunately, the comment section here isn’t the best place for a back and forth discussion. Are you a KelbyOne member? If so, the KelbyOne member forum is the perfect place for that type of conversation.

It’s connected to Lightroom, I move folders manually inside Lightroom to keep things organized.

My question is I’m starting to travel and my backup drive is a platter drive. I purchased a external SSD drive for my travels. Is it possible to copy the contents of my old archived drive to the new SSD drive and have each drive still be available if I plug both in?

I manually moved the old drive pictures (same file structure) and then told Lightroom to find the photos. It found them ok but it did not migrate any of my picks or edits? I ended up telling Lightroom to find the location on my old drive and now it ok?

So know I have this new drive with all my photos unsynced with Lightroom. Any suggestions?

Mark
