Hello, this is my first post, please forgive any errors.
I have a licensed copy of LR5 loaded on a Lenovo W510 laptop and a Lenovo Helix.
I have filled 2 external drives which have my photos on them.
I own, but have not yet setup a Synology DS713 where I would like to set up 2 3Tb RAID storage drives for my photos.
I own, but have not yet setup a Kingston 128 3.0 flashdrive where I would like to set up my LIGHTROOM files.
This would include the catalog, presets, user config files, etc... everything that makes LR5 - "ME".
My questions are:
1) What files do I need to move to the flashdrive so I can look like the same session no matter which device I am on?
---Please be very specific. Is the folder structure critical? I know about lrcat and preset and smart preview, but what about other LR5 config? my watermark? my purchased presets? my import and export preferences, etc...
2) Will LR5 find these files (catalog, preset, config) if they are on a flashdrive?
2a) If LR5 can find them on a flashdrive, what if I moved all these files to my SpiderOak Hive? It would look like the flashdrive, just faster and auto sync'ed.
3) How difficult and are there any tricks or traps I need to know about to move photos from my externals to the NAS RAID system?
My questions about CC are:
1) For $9.99/mo what is the storage size? Or cost to increase?
2) If I get the above items working, would I even need CC (other than if I want to work on my iPhone or iPad)?
I have had these ideas swirling around my head, but I just am not certain how to get everything connected and working - or even if it is possible!
Thank you SOOOO much!
