Am I seriously missing something I'd really love by not using the cloud-based version of Lr?
Background: I've been using Lr for about five years. I use Lightroom Classic 8.x via the Photography subscription plan on a windows 10 desktop. I also use Photoshop. I sell my work, mostly coastal landscape and wildlife, through my website and have about 500GB of carefully organized sets of Lr folders to help me manage my work. I backup my entire computer and external drives daily to Backblaze. I do not travel much, so rarely, if ever, need to edit photos on the go.
Question: Are there important benefits I'm missing by not using the cloud-based version? If I decided to use the cloud-based version, can I choose to sync specific folders of my photos? What I'm afraid of is that I'll turn on the sync process and find myself having to pay for cloud storage for photos I don't need stored in the cloud. I do realize that the cloud-based version has limited functionality at the moment, and I do not want to give up any of my beloved Lr Classic functionality. Can I have the best of both worlds???
Thanks for your thoughts on this!
