I have an 80000/690GB Lightroom Cloudy Library which is working well, but there are some puzzles about local storage numbers. The relevant screenshots are shown below.
The obvious primary question is why it thinks 2TB of Local storage is being used. This obviously explains "not enough space available with these settings" although it all seems to work fine!
The secondary question is about reducing the 150GB of disk space it uses. I don't mind using 150GB if I am getting the benefit (eg instant viewing without downloading).
The third screenshot shows that movie proxies are taking up 142GB of Local Storage, and I do have about that quantity of Home Movies (Filter shows 693 movies) in the Library, presumably available to play without needing download. But rather surprising that the smart previews of the 79000 photos only apparently take 5GB.
I do have an ALL PHOTOS ALBUM but this is not set to store locally. (It exists so that all photos and videos are stored locally on my 2TB iPad Pro).
Something seems inconsistent about these screenshots.
Any explanations or recommendations welcome!
Thanks
