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 |
