This is maybe slightly complicated but I'll try to keep it simple.
I have an imac and a macbook. Both have lightroom installed but all of my photos and catalogue are on imac only Currently have lightroom catalogue and previews on internal SSD and actual image files on an HDD drive. Works quite well, nice and quick.
I'd like to be able to use the same catalogue and images on the laptop with minimal faff so looking at different methods for sharing images and have narrowed it down to two. Just interested in feedback from those that have tried similar.
1. Catalogue file in dropbox folder so that it syncs automatically on each machine but sits on the local SSD of each machine so nice and fast once synced. Images files on an external 2TB USB 3.0 HDD.
2. Buy a dual 2.5" enclosure and put a small SSD and large HDD in there. Catalogue on SSD and images on HDD. Not even sure if these exist but I assume they do.
Any thoughts?
