Lr 6 "Still syncing--but to What?

When I try to quit Lr 6 I am warned that "204 photos are still syncing
with Lightroom Mobile." That's my entire mobile collection. Lightroom
Mobile on my iPhone and my iPad tells me that both devices are up to
date. A newly added photo from my desktop Mac showed up instantly on my
mobile thingies. So in view of the report from my iOS devices "All up
to date," to what place is Lightroom "still syncing" my photos?

I would like to know the path between my HD and my iOS devices. Are the
photos going directly to my iOS devices via Adobe's channels, or are
they being held (stored long-term) in the cloud in addition to being on
my HD? If so, is there a URL or an utility that can show me my
directory in that cloud so that I can see what is in it?

I have "Creative Cloud Files" in the sidebar in my Finder window in OS
X, but the directory is empty. Where is that directory? Local, or on an
Adobe server?

It would be handy to have a graphic map showing how Adobe's cloud
storage works, i.e., how it handles files. I have searched for such a
map, but have not found it.

Thanks!

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.

All that means is the sync connctinon is still maintained so that any
edits you mak on you iOS devices are immediately synced to your
desktop. Th same is true the othere way. If you are working on an image
file, or virtual copy in LR and want to add it to one of the synced
collections, just drag the thumbnal and drop it on that particular
collection folder and since it is "still syncing" that newly added
image is available in LR Mobile on both of your iOS devices.

directory in that cloud so that I can see what is in it?

The first thing to understand is that the only thing being synced
between Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile are *Smart Previews* not full
resolution files.
By using *Smart Previews* edits made in LR Mobile are available to LR CC.

I have "Creative Cloud Files" in the sidebar in my Finder window in OS
X, but the directory is empty. Where is that directory? Local, or on an
Adobe server?

Both. When you installed the Creative Cloud App, and since you are
using a Mac, in any open Finder window you should find a "Creative
Cloud Files" folder. Much like Dropbox and Box.com, this is your CC
files sync folder. Anything you drop in that will be synced to the
Adobe servers while remaining on your hard drive. If you access your CC
account via the web those same files can be found there. In the web
browser access you can choose sharing options.
If the CC app is running you should see a CC icon in the menu bar,
there you can also access the folder or the web site.

So, in a Finder window you should see something such as this:
https://app.box.com/s/1q5ibjr3hu03jk5e6379dr67tnnmlvcb

After logging in to your account on the Adobe site you should be able
to navigate to you CC folder & files;
https://app.box.com/s/enquwymzmc3rbvtls5o7kzdla9n9kbkk
https://app.box.com/s/ke7d54aw8yaah7bqe7gv1yijut0zauay

Open a folder
https://app.box.com/s/f6ymr7tt27w9q3v7dwzb8cmcvqs5otj7

Double click on an image to show details:
You can choose to create or delete public links for folders or
individual files, including RAW files, so that you can share images or
folders of images that way.

I meant to add an example of a *Public link* to an entire folder, so
here is one of those:
http://adobe.ly/1AUzQAS

Also the only full size file synced back to the desktop LR5/LR6/LR CC
will be those shot on the iDevice if you have a collection designated
in Lightroom Mobile for *Auto Upload*. That means that any images shot
with the iDevice will be synced back to the desk top and will be found
in two places *Collections* where they are actually *Smart Previews*
not full size files, and in the Lightroom Library *Folders* where it
will be nested in a folder with your mobile device's name/label in a
sub-folder labeled "Imported Photos".

It would be handy to have a graphic map showing how Adobe's cloud
storage works, i.e., how it handles files. I have searched for such a
map, but have not found it.
