Apologies for this topic, which seems to come up monthly, but 2 hours of reading posts hasn't gotten me to a clean&comprehensive solution. (All the answers I've found deal with a handful of photos; or a one-time operation to abandon LrCC; or require operations on individual collections, etc.)
I think my pattern is simple and common:
Of my ~18k synced photos, ~2k are consuming Adobe cloud space (against my 20GB). They appear in a total of ~50 collections, a mix of synced and unsynced.
Is there a process that lets me, perhaps twice a year, "move" the original out of the cloud and down to my desktop LrC, resetting my Adobe cloud storage to 0GB? Preferably just a few clicks, and certainly not requiring me to do anything with each of the 50 collections that may include these 2k Mobile-originated images.
I think my pattern is simple and common:
- Create a photo on iPhone (taken with camera, or a friend sent it to me in Messages)
- Import to Lightroom Mobile (via the iOS LR Mobile app) ... which quickly uploads to Adobe cloud storage
- later, in LrClassic on my desktop, Develop it, add to collections etc.
- Some of the target collections are synced, and so these photos replicate via synced Collections on my other mobile devices (e.g. family member phones). This works great.
- Some collections just exist within my desktop LrC.

- this thread (https://feedback.photoshop.com/conv...om-all-synced-photos/5f5f46154b561a3d4272ee14 ) seems to get close, but I'm hoping for confirmation of the general approach before I dig into implementing it.
