Photos synched on mobile not appearing in Classic

[johnmills2]

Lightroom Version

Lightroom Classic 8.4, and Lightroom CC

Operating System

Windows 10

I've set up Lightroom on my mobile and tablet, and it was working fine. Then, I assigned a destination for synched photos in Preferences (of Classic on the desktop), but now when I add a photo to Lightroom on the phone, it downloads to that designated folder in Windows but does not appear in "Imported Photos" in Lightroom Classic at all. Before I went into preferences and assigned a destination, the photos were appearing fine. Any ideas?

It’s not an imported photo, it’s a synced photo. It should appear in ‘All Synced Photographs’ and (if you added it to an album in Lightroom Mobile) in the synced collection.

For the life of me, I cannot find an "All Synced Photos" folder/collection. However it doesn't matter because I've tracked them down. They appear in 2 places - in the folder directory (within the folder I created and assigned photos to under the Preferences tab), and they show within a collection "From Lightroom". It's confusing because they do not show within the "Imported Photos" (from the phone) folder.

Look in the Catalog panel in the Library module, "All Synced Photographs" should be listed underneath "All Photographs".

Photos can only be in one folder at a time. If they are in the folder you assigned for synced images, then they cannot be in some 'Imported Photos' folder at the same time. That's different for collections. I assume that the 'Imported Photos' folder is/was a folder that you used to import images directly from the phone, and as I already explained, that is the difference. The current images were not 'imported', they were 'synced', and so they end up in the folder you assigned for synced photos.

In Lightroom Classic Preferences, there is a Location setting for all images sync'd FROM the cloud.
