No, the lightroom catalog does not need to be on C:\ but will perform best/fastest when on a local drive, no matter what the drive letter designation. LR now has the ability to search for folders by name making this even easier - Ex: Show me all folders that have 'Yellowstone' in the name. Seems like extra effort to import them by date and then have to sort everything out by collections while also doing keywording. Did I go to London in 2014 or was it 2015? Did I go in March that year or was it April or did it span both months? When did I do that photo shoot for the recipe for the blog? Was the Smith-Jones wedding in June or July, and which year? I would have to be absolutely meticulous in keywording! Better, for me at least, to organize by subject matter. I would never keep my photo storage by date. Publish my favourite photos and albums to Flickr for sharing and viewing on mobile devices.Make regular backups (in duplicate) of my hard drive that contains the synced OneDrive folders.Set Lightroom to export/save edited photos and albums into sub-folders in OneDrive.Use Lightroom to assign keywords, make edits and organise into albums.Set Lightroom to write metadata into the actual photo files.Set Lightroom to watch and automatically add new files from the Photos file.Set Lightroom to manage sub-folders and file names (including reorganising my existing collection).Set Lightroom to import all photo files into a OneDrive synced folder on my hard drive called Photos.Set Lightroom to store the catalog (and other Lightroom files) in a OneDrive synced folder on my hard drive called Lightroom.My photo collection is in a real mess! I'm seriously considering using Lightroom to organise and I'd really appreciate some feedback on my proposed approach as set out below.
