Once it does, you can now go back to using Lightroom normally. Simply go on to Dropbox’s website and go to that file, get a backup from the version history and restore that file.
Backups are very important and Dropbox will thankfully keep a backup of each of your files in case something like this happens. It’s super easy to forget and then remember when it’s too late). Select the user you want to share the file with, select Add, and select the Share button. Your catalog file will be done for.ĭon’t worry though! There is a super easy fix if this happens (I should say, “when it happens” because it will happen. Go to the folder you want to make accessible on another computer, right-click, and select Give access to > Specific people. You can try to repair the file but it will not work. When this happens you will get an error from Lightroom that tells you that the file needs to be repaired. If you open the catalog before the file syncs, Dropbox will corrupt the catalog file. Forgetting this will result in problems such as duplicate conflicted copies of the same catalog or corrupted catalogs that cannot be repaired.īefore you open a synced catalog, you must, must, must make sure that Dropbox has finished syncing on both computers. This is the most important thing to remember when using this method of syncing Lightroom catalogs between multiple computers. However, I found no way that works more seamlessly for my own workflow than the method I will describe below. There is a way to easily use the same Lightroom catalog on multiple computers using Dropbox.īefore I go on, there might be other ways to do this using the build in sync or other methods. That why I set up my Lightroom to be accessed on both of my computers.
#Multiple computers at work movie#
Sometimes, when I am editing a wedding or sessions, I would much rather sit on the couch, turn on a movie or show, and edit in a more comfortable setting. I want the ability to take my Lightroom catalog with me if I am working from the studio, or on vacation, or on a plane. But sometimes I would like to have a little more freedom as to where I can work. A computer is an electronic machine that processes informationin other words, an information processor: it takes in raw information (or data) at one end, stores it until its ready to work on it, chews and crunches it for a bit, then spits out the results at the other end. Why would you want to do this? For me, I do the bulk of my editing at my desk using my iMac. It doesn’t involve using external hard drives or syncing collections with Adobe Cloud.
Have you ever wanted to use Lightroom Classic on two computers? There’s actually a super easy way to do this.
