Lightroom Classic and Lightroom (cloud ecosystem) are both used for organizing and editing photos, but they don’t think the same way. Classic is designed to catalog photos stored on the hard drive with lots of user-control, whereas Lightroom (cloud ecosystem) is designed to manage the photos in the cloud for you.
How much cloud storage does Lightroom use?
When you subscribe to an Adobe Creative Cloud plan, you get a quota of cloud storage. Lightroom uses this storage to store full versions of the image files you import into your catalog. Depending on your Creative Cloud plan, you might have 20GB, 100GB or 1TB of cloud storage.
Can I store Lightroom Classic catalogs in the Creative Cloud?
No, you cannot store Lightroom Classic catalogs in the Creative Cloud, nor can you save a Lightroom Classic catalog on a networked drive. You must store Lightroom Classic catalogs on your computer or on a locally connected hard drive. Does my Lightroom Classic catalog expire if I discontinue my Creative Cloud membership?
Where are my Lightroom photos stored?
While Lightroom does not store your wedding photos within its software or on a Cloud drive that is supported by the software, it does allow you to decide where you want to store your photos. Lightroom is all about flexibility, customization, and personal preferences, which is perfect for you in your wedding photography workflow.
If the folders of photos are stored in folder called “Lightroom Photos” or another easily identifiable name, it reminds you not to rename, move or delete these photos.
I found the answer is when you import your photos into Lightroom, you have the option to save them on your device instead of saving them to the USB, hard drive, or Cloud drive. This allows you to manage the space on your computer’s hard drive and keep your photos on your camera.
How do I clear files from Lightroom cloud storage?
Unfortunately, while there is an option in Lightroom to store files locally (as well as in the cloud), there is no option to ONLY store files locally, and clear them from cloud storage. If they’re in Lightroom, they’re in the cloud. So what to do? Option one: You could upgrade your storage and delay the problem.
How do I organize my photos in Lightroom?
In order to keep your photos organized proficiently, Lightroom creates a catalog of your files. If you have added your files to Lightroom (as opposed to copying or moving them), those photos are now in your catalog. To see where those photos are located, simply right-click any thumbnail in Lightroom to view its location on your hard drive.
