Syncing Lightroom Collections

[calli_burnett]

I created a collection and synced it with Lightroom mobile. Changes were made in the Lightroom mobile version and they are still there however I can't find the collection in my desktop Lightroom version. Can you sync from mobile to desktop?

Thanks Akash but my question is not answered there.

• Have you ensured that you are logged into Lightroom Mobile on your Desktop and sync is ON.See Sync status on Preferences>Lightroom mobile.
• Please check the sync status on your Mobile as well.Open Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and check if your images from Mobile Phone show up.

My images show up in Lightroom mobile but not in the Lightroom on the desktop. When I turn sync on from the desk top it wants to delete the current catalogue from the mobile - this is the catalogue I want to keep. I just can't see it in the desktop version.

[Akash Sharma]

This means you are using a different catalog than that of the Mobile synced catalog.You need locate the correct catalog on your Desktop.

Refer Recover catalog and images after resetting preferences in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Yes you can sync from mobile to the desktop version, but only to a single LR catalog.

The images won't be in a collection, but in a system generated folder, unless you have set up a named folder in preferences >> LR mobile.
