Creative Cloud Photography plan with 1TB

I am existing user/subscriber of "Creative Cloud Photography plan". I am planning to upgrade to "Creative Cloud Photography plan with 1TB".  I wonder how can I upload my Lightroom photos library, which is around 500GB, to the Creative cloud. Is there any sync tool doing it automatically?

Your help is welcome

You can start the new Lightroom CC app and then look under the File menu for "Migrate Lightroom Catalog"... Please see:

Migrate photos and videos from Lightroom Classic CC to Lightroom CC

(Be aware that you can only migrate any given Lightroom Classic catalog once to Lightroom CC.)

Adding to the above. You would need to migrate your catalog from Lr Classic.

Launch Lr CC and go to the menu:

File >> Migrate Lightroom Catalog

You will need to ensure you have sufficient spare disk space greater that 500Gb as Lr CC needs to copy all of your originals, upload them to the cloud and cross reference them with your existing catalog. If you don’t have enough space in the Pictures directory, use an external hard drive. Note this is temporary storage and once everything is backed up in the cloud, originals will drop out of the system cache. So there is no need to worry about duplication*. Lr CC works with a cache of proxies to efficiently manage disk usage and minimize its footprint on computers and mobile devices.

Backup your existing catalog when you quit Lightroom

If still using Lr CC 2015 install LR Classic and upgrade your catalog

Launch Lr CC and start the migration

*N.B Lr CC lets you set a drive & folder in preferences to store a local copy if preferred but you could simply use your existing catalog and files as an archive.

If you are sticking with lr classic you can only sync smart previews manually from collections. But these are compressed  DNG files so you may not need 1TB of cloud storage.

If you want to upgrade to 1 TB of storage to your existing Lightroom Classic Photography Plan use this link: Adobe CC Photography Plan | Professional Photo Editing Software.

As said above. Classic will only sync smart previews annoyingly but for most purposes that is fine. You do this by creating a collection that you set to sync and then you just drop all the images you want to sync into it. If you want original raw files on the cloud, you have to go through Lightroom CC unfortunately but you can then still sync adjustments and use them in Classic. Hopefully they will add the capability to sync raw files through Classic at some point. Add your vote here: Lightroom Classic should be able to Sync full raw files to the cloud, not just smart previews | Phot...

I use Lightroom CC on my mobile devices and sync back and forth to Classic on the desktop. Previously I could sync to the cloud without affecting any storage limit. I have no need to use CC on the desktop. I am confused as I haven’t upgraded to a CC 1Tb subscription, however the mobile apps are showing an amount of storage available out of 1Tb. I am totally confused.

You are not the only one confused. I think it will take Adobe a little time to rationalize storage limits.

Until now, the ability to sync originals to cloud storage was limited to web and mobile devices with a camera connection kit or photos shot directly with a phone e.g. into Camera Roll or using the Adobe camera app to shoot DNG. Otherwise only smart previews were sync’d.

With the launch of Lr CC this brings a new dynamic and the concept of Photos Everywhere; on the desktop and on mobile.

So basic and photo storage for subscribers may get consolidated in the future. Why have separate storage for CC documents, libraries etc. and then for photos e.g. 2GB/1TB, 20GB/1TB or 100GB/1TB?

I'm not at liberty to say much more than... enjoy it.   Since you already had more than 20GB in the cloud, enforcing the 20GB limit on your account would have deleted photos. Adobe aren't that mean. It's your lucky day.

Thanks, that’s good to know, however I would prefer to have some firm information as to how this will play out going forward. I may have been gifted some extra storage , but previously this was unlimited anyway. What will happen as I continue to add images - I don’t want to suddenly be landed with 9.99 added to my existing monthly payment.

Have a word with customer services and see what they're allowed to say Phil. If they can't tell you, let me know and I'll see if I can get you something more concrete.

Hello, I don't see the initial question fully answered. I'm with the 20GB plan - but in LR CC I've 1 TB of Cloud storage. I can upload vie LR CC (Desktop & Mobile) and all original files will be uploaded to cload as desired. Sync from Classic will only upload smart previews. So far anything good.

So I've uploaded 400GB but have only 20GB with my plan. Whatever I upload via LR CC it doesn't count against the 20GB limit. If I upload something in the Creative Cloud it counts against limit as expected.

So what is the difference between the two clouds? Can I expect to have the 1TB forever or can I even expand it? Or will Adobe drop storage down to 20GB and I've to buy additional storage?

Don't tell me I'm lucky - I really need trust here what amount of storage is available to me and what not!

Adobe can't make a clear statement in the moment...

Holkstar, talk to customer services to confirm your particular account details. This exception only affects a small number of people who already had a large number of files in the Lightroom cloud, so Adobe are unlikely to make a public statement, because everyone else would be jealous. If customer services are unable to help, I'll find you someone who can.
