Share an album
The Sync with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom mobile feature enabled you to keep your photos and collections with you wherever you went. You could work on photos from any location, and the changes and modifications were automatically synced back to Lightroom Classic desktop or mobile.
The new Share feature in Lightroom Classic enables you to now share your pictures with others. You can seek feedback, comments, and see what kinds of photos viewers are interested in. Importantly:
- Any collection synced with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom mobile can be shared.
- When you share a collection for commenting and feedback, you receive a URL of the location of the photos (on https://lightroom.adobe.com/). This URL can be accessed by anyone with a valid Adobe ID.

Canceling an album share or sync
When you cancel sharing of a collection, the album and photos within are no longer accessible to users. If you share the folder again, the comments and likes are restored to the photos. However, if you cancel the sync of the album with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom mobile, all references to the album are removed from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom web. You will no longer be able to see the pictures on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom web, and restoring the sync and share will also not help in restoring those comments and likes.
