I didn’t need to make the backup because I do a full image of the system drive once a week. I tried what you suggested and it still isn’t working. FYI that actual “sync to odrive” is one folder up on the Pictures folder. Other subfolders seem to by syncing but not the Lightroom Photos folder. As before the local folder with the placeholder folders and files in it shows nothing new since I first set it up other than the one folder I manually uploaded 10 days ago to get the pictures on line for posting.
