Hello
I am a user of a lightroom cc for some time. Recently, I installed the lightroom classic and updated my package. When I first syn my classic to lightroom cc, i have all my photos in collection and under the title "all photographs". I want to see my folders in the left hand panel. How can i do this. I managed to create a folder from "go to folder in library" but it will duplicate the photos in the all photos. Can you help
Regards
Medhat Michail
Hi Medhat,
Lightroom CC does not carry over your folder structure from Lightroom Classic CC as your folders are based locally on your computer. It uploads all your images into "Albums" (aka collections in Lightroom Classic CC)
You may refer this discussion for more info around this: Lightroom: Folders invisible in library folder list | Photoshop Family Customer Community
Let us know if that helps.
Thanks,

Hello Akash
Thank you for your reply. I started the other way round; meaning build up my collection in albums in lightroom cc, so all my photos are stored in the cloud. now that I have sync my lightroom classic catalog to the lightroom cc, I ended up with collections in lightroom classic. I want to organise my photos in folders in my Hard drive. how can I do that?
Thank you for your help

Hi Medhat,
In Lightroom Classic CC:
Take a look at this article: Lightroom Catalog a mess? How to Organize all your photos in Lightroom - PhotoshopCAFE Doing this you can organize your images into folders and then create collections based on them.
In Lightroom CC, Folders can contain albums or other folders.
Thanks,

To view your folders in the left-hand panel of Lightroom Classic without duplicating photos in "All Photographs," follow these steps:

@Muhammad Faiz32484194qhz2 Your understanding of "All Photographs" is not correct.
"All Photographs" is NOT a "duplicate" of your photos, but is simply a way to show all and every photo that has ever been imported to the Catalog.
"All Photographs" will show you the photos in every FOLDER you add, or use to import photos, all in one large 'list' in the Grid view.
The theme of this 2018 thread was about creating Folders when syncing files (down) from Lightroom (Cloud storage)- This can be set for 'Dated' folders in the Sync Preferences of Lightroom-Classic.
