Hi!
I'm new here but an old lady with Lightroom. I use LR mobile just to upload my iPhone photos into LrC so I can catalog, edit and print. I used to be able to just plug my iPhone in via USB every couple of weeks and upload into LrC like I would any SD card. But that all changed and I had to start using LR mobile.
I have read a bunch of articles and other questions on the forum and my workflow looks like this:
1. Set photos to automatically upload from my camera roll to a roll on LR mobile (called uploads). Then have that folder set to automatically sync. I've done the same with my husband's phone (just a different folder name on his phone to automatically sync).
2. Once photos are synced with LrC, I can just drag them into the folders with my camera photos from the same date (I have my folders set: 2020-->12 2002-->120120, 120220, etc.)
This works, sort of. I usually end up with a bunch of photos that just never sync for whatever reason. So sometimes I have to go and drag my camera roll into my upload folder to force a sync, which is fine but super annoying (why can't I just plug in and upload?!) It's a big pain to figure out what is missing but I'll deal with it if it's all I've got.
My main question is this:
Once the photos are synced with LrC, can I delete them from the upload/syncing folder on my phone without having them deleted from the desktop computer? Obviously I have more than 20GB of photos, so I was hoping to just upload/sync a month at a time and then delete from LR mobile. Will the synced iPhone photos *stay* in my LrC and on my desktop when I delete them from the LR mobile app on my phone?
Thanks!
