My imported photos to a Windows 10 laptop are all in "Imported Photos" under the folder "Google Pixel 3 XL." I would like them to be in separate folders by date as in my regular imports by SD card.
Possible? Thanks

In Classic, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Lightroom Sync. On that panel, you can choose the main folder where synced images are placed, and you can tick the check box to create subfolders formatted by date. A drop-down box on the right also allows you to specify your preferred date format.

Thanks. I had meant to do this but somehow did not. I guess that it will apply to future downloads.

Yep. You can drag and drop ones that have already downloaded into the folders of your choice.

I figured out my problem: there is no "Save" button to click in Edit Preferences. I had to hit "Enter" on my pc before my changes would apply. Doh!
