That would be it. My catalog, 233,000 raw files, is about 6.3 gb. Thank you for the assistance!

Hi Lynne,

With LR 6/CC the compressing of the backup copy into a zip file is automatic.

When you install the Dropbox desktop application it creates an actual folder (named Dropbox) on your local drive, so you just direct Lightroom to save the backup copies to a folder inside that Dropbox folder and everything is automatic from there.

How do you direct LR to automatically create the zipped backup copies in Dropbox? Can you also have backups on your computer’s hard drive in addition to Dropbox? (again, automatically?)

That would explain the behavior of LR 5.7 🙂 Thanks a lot for the quick answer and the hint on LR Backup.

Hi Mr./Ms. Fun,

The automatic zipping is a new feature of Lightroom 6/CC. For previous versions of Lightroom you can compress it manually, or use a Lightroom plugin called “LR Backup” found on a website called Photographer’s Toolbox.

My Catalogue weighs 37.5 MB. Similar to Jack’s my catalogue is not zipped.
How can we convince (assure?) Lightroom to zip the catalogues automatically? Thanks in advance
