This makes Sync potentially more secure than Dropbox (if you’re worried about the NSA having a back door to your data), and also free. There is no company storing your files on its own servers. The difference between Sync and Dropbox is that Sync has no “cloud” component. BitTorrent Sync works similarly to services like Dropbox or OneDrive, in that it copies files on one computer to matching folders on another computer. It involves using a software called BitTorrent Sync. I’ve come upon a new way that skips the export catalog, then move to the desktop, and import catalog workflow. If I’m not going to edit the photos in any way, I’ll just copy the RAW files off the cards to the notebook’s hard drive and be done with it, worrying about importing them to Lightroom when I’m home. This means I want all that information pick flags, ratings, develop settings, metadata changes, to carry over when I bring the photos into the permanent library, rather than have to redo everything.
This has a few drawbacks, the most obvious being that my two computers run different operating systems.Īlso, the only reason for importing my new photos into Lightroom on my notebook machine is because I want to start editing them before I get home.

My original, perfectly serviceable solution was to export new images from the laptop to another catalog on a portable external hard drive, then plug that drive into the desktop, and then import that catalog from the external drive into the main catalog on my desktop machine. One problem that arises when working on the road is this: Getting my RAW files from my notebook’s Lightroom catalog to the permanent one on my desktop machine. My current arrangement consists of a Windows 7 desktop and a MacBook Air both running Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. New RAW files might temporarily reside on the MacBook’s SSD drive, but a better option would be an external hard drive or SSD drive. My main Lightroom catalog would be connected to a sizable external drive (or, better yet, a Drobo with five 4TB drives). In that way I could A) avoid the pain that is Windows 8 and B) do all my work on one computer, both at home and the road.

If I had all the money in the world (or could at least tack a few extra zeroes onto my net worth), my ideal computer setup would consist of a MacBook Pro connected to at least one 27-inch Thunderbolt display.
