![]() One method that can sometimes reconcile free space amounts is to use Apple Disk Utility to delete any Time Machine local snapshots. The changes to how macOS counts free space have affected things like Photoshop scratch files: The free space reported by the Scratch Disk preference now often disagrees with what the Finder says, so Photoshop sometimes says there’s no space for its scratch file when there should be. I have a feeling that a lot of Apple Store techs may not be fully up to speed on this subject. Some explanations are on Howard Oakley’s blog: Explainer: Disk free space and Free space on an APFS volume is an illusion. ![]() With the new types of temporary files that macOS now uses, advanced techniques like cloning that APFS uses to save space, and how macOS decides to count them against the free space, has gotten a lot more complicated. It’s no longer like it was when all we had to do was subtract the space occupied by files from the capacity of the volume. By space on recent versions of macOS is becoming a tricky thing to work out, especially for less technical users. The OS is about 10 GB and my iPhone photos are about 156 GB, Documents are about 110 GB. I really don't believe I have that many photos downloaded on my computer, yet my System Data folder is 487 GB. …it doesn't appear to release as much space as expected on my MacBook Pro. When everything got moved it was over 800 GB until that process was up-to-date. System Data should be between 30 GB and 60 GB. I made an appointment with the Genius Bar and the Apple Tech told me Drop Box is probably in the System Data. ![]() The other surpising thing that I don't understand and sine You are deemed an expert, is it doesn't appear to release as much space as expected on my MacBook Pro. I hope they will work on it and make them work better together. Since I last posted this problem, I connected with Adobe and they had me go back to the previous version of LrC and now everything works just fine offline so the problem seems to be with the new LrC version working with the new Ventura 13.4 Mac OS. Since the Apple update and the new Adobe update happened at the same time I wasn't sure what the problem was. Many were taken before I started using LrC and so with the new tools available I have much better post processing ability and was specifically excited about the new feature to reduce noise which works so great. I recently started working on a web site for my photography business, so I would change to MAKE AVAILABLE OFFLINE which, in the past release, would copy them down to my MacBook Pro and I could review and edit them while flying. I use dropbox as a place to store projects I am done working on due to space limitations and I set these folders to ONLINE only. But of course, Lightroom Classic can sync only collections and images enabled for syncing, and only from one catalog.Ĭan you talk more about why you were using Dropbox with Lightroom Classic? Was it as some kind of backup, or to edit the photos from different computers? That would help figure out a better solution. The cloud sync in Lightroom Classic itself (syncing Lightroom Classic collections to Lightroom Photos in the cloud) is probably not affected by this, because it does not directly integrate with the Mac desktop. The linked article gives many reasons this might now break: Disconnected local folders, broken file reference paths, loss of external drive support, local placeholders instead of real files… Lightroom Classic could easily become confused if it looks for some files (database, images, cache files, previews…) and they are not there on your computer because they are in the cloud and not downloaded. In reading about it ( Apple’s File Provider Forces Mac Cloud Storage Changes - TidBITS), it’s possible that the problems and freezing might be happening because in the new way that macOS is syncing, not all of the data is actually being stored locally. Which means any other cloud sync services you might try might have the same problem, if they also integrate with the Mac desktop. But as far as getting off Dropbox, the problem is probably related to how Apple recently changed how they require cloud sync services to work if they integrate with the Mac desktop, as Dropbox does. I don’t know the full solution because I don’t use Dropbox with Lightroom Classic.
