Lightroom Cloud Extension

This project extend Adobe Lightroom with cloud support making it possible to access a catalog from different machines safely without corrupting the catalog.

Features:

• Have a catalog file in a shared location, such as a folder in Google Drive, Dropbox, or a NAS, and have lrcloud synchronize the catalog between a local and the shared location.
• Only synchronizing the changes not the whole catalog
• Support Smart Previews
• On-the-fly catalog compression

Current limitations:

• The paths in the shared catalog are not converted thus a catalog cannot be shared between Window and OSX.
• No GUI
• No simultaneous catalog access

Usage

Note

Please note that lrcloud is still in beta so backup your catalog frequently :)
