Question or Description of Problem:
Ok after all the initial fuss I finally got down to trying to sync between LR Classic and LR CC. I had read various posts about how to do this and how to do that and decided to give it a go myself.
In LR Classic I use my own filing system. "2017_10_25_ Home" is a typical folder in which my photos reside. This folder is inside a folder named after my camera, in this case "Canon 6D". So I went into LR CC and created a folder "Canon 6D" and inside that folder created another folder called "2017_10_25_ Home".
I went back to LR Classic and created a Collection Set called "Canon 6D" and inside that I created a Collection called "2017_10_25_ Home" with all the photos that reside in that folder. When creating this Collection the check box "Sync with LR CC" was already checked so I left it checked.
In LR CC it starts syncing nicely creating an album called "2017_10_25_ Home". However, the created album is outside of the folder called "Canon 6D", so I simply dragged it to that folder whilst it was syncing.
Hey presto everything syncs nicely !
The best part about this is that when you sync from LR Classic to LR CC the files are "Smart Preview" only, not the original files. This means that it does not count against your measly 20 GB allowance
I do not understand what all the fuss has been about ! This seems like a fantastic bit of kit.
Now for my 200 + remaining files :bored::bored:
