Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info): LR Classic CC
I recently discovered the ability to directly publish into a Harddrive and Dropbox.
I am trying to sync my designated published-folders in a way that the previously existing photos appear in my LR publishing section along with the future photos that I will add into this folder directly inside LR.
Here is my context:
I have a large Media Archive of jpgs in my computer's memory. I used to export into it directly from LR and then sync that folder to my LR catalogue to manage the jpgs. This Media Archive represents in a way the jpg versions of a selection of my raw files to be shared with relevant people. The raw photos exist in my LR catalogue in their own folder structure, sometimes similar to the Media Archive format, sometimes different. The Media Archive is but a small part of my overall catalogue.
Now I see that if I use the publishing service, I will save time because "Publish now" would create the necessary new subfolders and export the jpgs into them automatically, while also keeping a record of these folders in my LR catalogue, under the publish services section.
Is it at all possible to sync such a folder automatically, like we do with any other folder in a hard drive, ensuring that the preexisting photos can be imported into LR or that future changes within the publish section can be carried on to the hard disk copy of that folder?
Thanks.
