The Adobe Lightroom Downloader app helps you download all your synced Lightroom photos to a destination on your computer's hard-drive.
Note:
- Enterprise IDs are not supported.
- The app downloads all your Lightroom photos and videos from the cloud as original files and writes them into a date-based folder hierarchy at the hard-drive location that you specify.
- The edits made to the raw images are written into the XMP sidecar files that accompany the downloaded raw files.
- For the photos originally uploaded from Lightroom Classic that only have a Smart Preview synced to the cloud, the app downloads DNG Smart Previews only for such photos.
