Hi, I am extremely new to Lightroom CC but have been using Lightroom 5 and using an expired trial of Lightroom Classic. I am in the midst of deciding whether I should and how to use Lightroom going forward. I am now in my trial period of Lightroom CC. For some reason, I decided to use the Catalog migration tool and migrated my photos to Lightroom CC (and hence the cloud), exhausting my trial 1 TB worth of cloud storage (my total photo volume is around 1.1 TB over 145,000 photos). I think I will subscribe to the Photography Plan (20GB) using Lightroom Classic as my main edit and photo management tool and use Lightroom CC as a means to edit photos I take on my phone on the go. My questions are:
1) Now that my photos are on the cloud, how do I delete them so that I will free up the cloud storage when my storage goes back to 20GB when I subscribe to the Photography Plan?
2) Right now, my Lightroom CC looks nice with all my collections at the side. If I delete the photos from the cloud, will these collections still be there without the originals in the cloud? Or do I need to sync each collection manually one by one from Lightroom Classic so that the previews can go to Lightroom CC?
3) I can't see all the photos in my Lightroom CC app on my Android phone, but I figure that is because of my cloud storage being maxed out.
4) What should my workflow be going forward if I manage to resolve the issues above? I take photos with my phone most of the time and currently import them to my Lightroom Classic via Dropbox. How do I directly sync them to my Lightroom Classic going forward? Where are the photos synced to?
Most important to me is that none of the actions above should affect my photos in my Lightroom Classic.
Any help or comments on any or all of the above questions would be greatly appreciated!
