The $10/month doesn't seem like much, but with the dozen or so other subscriptions for TV/apps/programs/phones/clouds the I'm trying to have an intelligent array of monthly costs. That's why I purchased a perpetual license of Lr6. So far I haven't seen a need to get the subscription. I also use perpetual Photoshop but only rarely, so the enticement of adding other Adobe apps isn't enough to reel me in. So that's where I currently stand on subscribing.
I now would like to sync my catalog between two local locations - not to the cloud. The very last chapter in Victoria's book covers syncing but apparently only with devices accessing the cloud. My ideal setup at the moment is to set up a Lr dedicated partition on my laptop TB data HDD (it also has a SSD boot drive). I would then sync my notebook catalog with my desktop machine. What I'm currently doing is using an external HDD to move my Lr catalog between the two devices. This works, but requires a lot of moving stuff to keep laptop/EHD/desktop all on the same page.
So that's my question. Is it possible to sync between two local devices. If not, is there a good routine to keep laptop/desktop on the same page. Maybe an inexpensive 3rd party app (not a subscription service). I may eventually subscribe to Lr6cc but I dislike being continually manipulated into subscription services.
