So the more recent stuf like project etc I am working on I just move also to the share folder and same as with the catalog make an alias to to original location in my pictures folder in order not to confuse the LR on my imac. Regarding the images it works like that that I don´t have to sync all the old stuff from years back. So on the PC I can now open LR with the catalog from the share folder. This means as soon as my PC appears in the home network it will sync with this share folder. The main difference of my system and drop box is now that my share folder is not somewhere in the web on a cloud server, it is on my local imac harddisc. This means when I work in LR all the changes in the LR catalog file will be in the share folder. I have now moved my whole whole LR catalog folder to this share folder and just mad an alias to the original location of the LR catalog etc. The whole system is based on sparkleshare and had to be set up in in command line so it was a little to much for me as non-programmer.Īnyway I have now on my mac a folder called "share" and I have the same on the PC. a friend helped me yesterday with some more advanced stuff that woks basically like a mixture between a dorpbox and a network drive. It seems that I have now a working solution. A relative location would work just as well.Īnd apart from all that waffle, I'll just nod at everything Clee's said. I have used it between Mac and Windows in past - simple case of making sure the Folders panel is showing a hierarchy so I can easily relink a single folder when I switch platforms. are all stored in the Dropbox folder, and I create symlinks (using Symbolic Linker) with the correct names to put in the Application Data folders on each computer, so that Lightroom never knows the difference. I have a 100gb Dropbox account (actually 117gb after referrals!) which I use for all of my working files, so it justifies the price. Until recently, I had older photos on a network drive and recent photos on Dropbox - once I'd finished editing, I'd move them onto the archive network drive (accessible as long as I was home) and that would free up Dropbox space for more photos. Yes I have LR installed on different machines and LR catalogs are on Dropbox. I'm back, sorry for disappearing briefly! I would give everything to make this work. So I can now see my mac drives and folder from my PC, now I tried to make the imac folders on my PC "available offline" however for some reason this gives only errors, meaning it cannot make the files available offline for some reason? Is there an explanation for this?Īctually my idea was to make my whole pictures folder and the LR catalog on my imac accessible from my PC, then make everything available offline that I am able to work with it without being connected and when I reconnect it would sync automatically with the imac harddisc. Of course I am again experiencing some other problems, but if I remember correctly you have also managed to sync between mac and PC? I just managed to create the network between the mac an PC which means I can now see all files and folders I am sharing on my imac from the PC. If you remember our earlier discussion about my problem I got right now after quite some weeks a big step closer. Thanks a lot, it seems that I am getting closer now. Have I understood this correctly and is this the this could work? the rest will then also show up in the catalog structure etc but will not be available. I have everything on my imac harddisc but I would like to be able to use a part of it from my PC so I guess I should have the full catalog available on the PC but only a small part of the pictures. This is exactly the solution I am looking for. I guess you have one "master machine" where you have basically everything stored, so do you have all your probably hundreds of gigabites of pictures on Dropbox or only a small part of it because you are probably don't need everything on all machines all the time? I have now some questions to this setup and first of all what did you mean by " symlinked"?
If I understand your setup correctly you have LR installed on different machines but the LR catalogs and also all the pictures are on dropbox? This sounds really interesting because I just thought to make myself some sort of a travel catalog.
