Lightroom, MacBook with limited internal storage - how to work withseveral external USB sticks
I'm trying to understand LR Classic and/or CC's concept of storage.
I have a MacBook - it has 512GB internal SSD which will be shared with
several users (family).
So I cannot have my entire photo collection on there (in terms of the
originals).
Can LR manage working with photos stored in sets on a number of USB Sticks?
I would tend to load up a stick with 1-2 year's worth of originals, so I
would have sticks labelled:
2013-15
2015-17
etc depending on how many photos fit.
Or do I need to put them on a single external device that's always there
when I use LR?
Starting from the ground up here, so trying to decide how to manage
storage of the original photo files. At the moment they are on a big
slow NAS. For LR work, I need them portable as I'll be working on the
train and away from home.
Cheers,
Tim
