I have a workstation with Lightroom. Also, I would like to be able to sit in my living room with a Surface Pro and a pen to edit images sometimes. Today, LR Mobile doesn't give me enough. I need to work within native Lightroom on both places.
I haven't found a good solution to this. Lightroom database and imported images stored on a service like Dropbox is not good enough, and too risky.
I think Adobe should support this. Working with smart previews is good enough I guess.
Have tried to sync both computers to LR Mobile, but that was a mess.
Or is there a solution for this?
Also, I would say it's normal to have 1) a workstation, 2) a laptop, and a 3) tablet to work on. Adobe should increase number for logged in computers in creative cloud from 2 to 3.

Im starting to understand that adobe doesn't care about their Lightroom users. It's crazy how slow Lightroom is with high resolution raw images.

I think Adobe does care. They just have a specific roadmap which does not always align with everyone wishes.
Sharing the catalogue on a network and Multi user are sore points with many people, including me, though. We've been using workarounds for far too long.
Speed with hi res Raw images is a separate topic. We need a lot more info from you to troubleshoot that. Suggest you start a new discussion.

I might be way off base here. But as a former database developer for a university, one of the considerations for multiuser databases is the licensing costs. I remember looking into SQL Lite Multiuser licensing (I think) at one time for one of our projects and it made the project cost prohibitive.

I'm sure that's valid, Jim. I've never seen Adobe mention it anywhere.
Won't stop people asking for the functionality though.

You may be thinking of another database. SQLite is public-domain: https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html
