The metadata filter is a view setting in the Library module. There are various filters available above the grid. You may need to click the arrow to open the filter area.

No, Dropbox knows which photos have been copied.

Could you explain how to do the metadata part in a little more detail? I’d like to know how you do the filter do you add it on your auto import settings? I wasn’t sure how to do that.

Thanks in advance

it’s really not like that, sync is set one way, otherwise it would delete the originals when it sees the empty folder. it works fine the first time. if you only tried it once you might think it is a good idea, but it doesn’t work.
to do this you need Lightroom mobile and a creative cloud subscription.

Auto Import can only move photos. It’s meant for getting new images into Lightroom easily.

It sounds like your sync software is set up for two-way sync, meaning both locations are always kept up-to-date. If you’re using the software to get photos from one place to another, you can change the settings to make the sync one way only.

So you’d have Location A > Location B > Lightroom.

If you’re trying to keep two folders always synced, then the local folder in that pair should not be used for Lightroom Auto Import.

I would want lr to auto import via add without moving.

Then I have a watched folder in LR that takes these DB uploads and moves them to an folder on an EHD titled LR Photostream Import. This shows up nicely in LR. My question is, since these are moved from the DB Camera Upload folder and still remain in my camera photostream then the next time my camera is within reach of my mac to upload automatically won’t it think it has to reupload all the photos again since the watched folder moves them from DB to my EHD? Thanks for your help.
