Cloud sync

Cloud sync lets your photos, edits and collections move via Adobe's cloud between Lightroom on your computer, phone and tablet. What you do on one device appears automatically on the others. So you start on your laptop and keep working on your phone on the go.

In Lightroom Classic you sync selectively via synced collections; in the Cloud version everything syncs by default. Lightroom sends smart previews to your mobile so you can edit on the move too, while the originals stay safe. Mind your storage space and internet connection with large amounts of photos. Tip: make a synced collection of your work in progress, then you can pick it up on any device.
