Like Google drive it acts like a local hdd. You problem of having limited storage can be mitigated with what you are trying to do. Also in general the catalogue will remain locally available (this of course depends on your cloud app stettings, by I've set onedrive files for the catalogue to always keep) so also LR startup time etc are not negatively effected. Make sure you read the limitatation when working with smart previews only.ĮDIT: about performance concerns: LR still runs the catalogue and smart previews from local storage as the cloud apps managing the downloads as needed in the background. Once you plug in your HDD on any of your devices, all changes will be applied to the orignial files. As you can work (edit, export etc.) with smart previews as well, you don't need to plug in the HDD. This setup gives you access to your catalogue from all your desired devices. These smart previews are also stored as part of the catalogue on Your Google cloud drive. Let LR create smart previews for your catalogue. Store the catalogue on your Google Drive. Store all photo files on your external HDD. Please direct non-lightroom topics to the most appropriate of the following!
