Hi there!
I recently did a "try Lightroom Cloudy" experiment and have opted to stick with Classic. One of the things I was looking forward to with Cloudy was the easing of sharing albums - a way to share years of photos with friends and family.
I see that it's possible to do this with Classic, but there's one aspect I'm not sure about: because I work on a laptop, all my image folders, with the exception of the current year and the LRC catalogue, reside on an external hard. So, let's say I create a collection called John Smith 2001 - 2021 and include photos from years that are on the external drive and my laptop then sync that collection through LR Cloudy so that I can share it with John Smith. Will the shared collection still be fully accessible if I detach the external drive from my laptop? (The hard drive is attached while I'm working on older photos in LRC, but otherwise detached.)
I'm not in a position to "test" this because a version of my catalogue is still lurking on LR Cloudy (from my experiment) and I don't want to trigger a full sync with LRC, so if anyone already knows the answer, I would be so grateful!
