Lightroom Mobile: How do I pause syncing?

My favorite camera app in my iphone is Lightroom Mobile, and so I end up coming home with a lot of shots after being out shooting.  I have it set so it will not sync unless I'm on wifi. 

So, when I get home and open up LR mobile to take a look at the new images, it starts syncing right away (actually, I'm not sure but maybe it starts syncing in background as soon as I step into my house).  The problem is, I end up only keeping about 5-10% of my shots to work on in Lightroom on my desktop Mac, and so I don't want it to start syncing until I have trashed all the poor shots.   

My question is: how can I pause automatic syncing and restart when I'm ready?

Hi Mark,

I'm pretty sure that currently you can't but agree it would be a useful feature!

So, I find what I have to do -- if I remember to even do it -- is to turn off Wifi as soon as I drive into my garage (where wifi reaches). Then I go in and delete the obviously bad shots, and then turn Wifi back on.

I'm surprised this isn't a more popular request.  I'm probably similar to many people, where I take several dozen or more photos in a session, and know that I might only have a handful of keepers.  But when I start to look at the photos in LR Mobile, I don't even have a chance to look through the photos to cull them before it's burning my battery syncing the new photos.  Such a waste.  A simple "pause" in the syncing seems so easy to add.

I too think there needs to be a way to pause syncing in LRM back to CC.  At a remote location with poor wifi I don't want to consume bandwidth uploading potentially hundreds of RAW images when I only want them on my iPad.  When I get back to normal wifi, and have culled my images, then let me turn it back on!  If I disable wifi all together I won't be able to do email, etc.  Thanks!!!

Please add the capability to stop or disable syncing in all forms of lightroom. I set up lightroom cc for my dad on a Mac. It didn't have the features that he had had before with his old non cc version of lightroom. Then I set up lightroom classic cc. Since I left, he says it is downloading duplicate photos, and corrupting his filing system. I would like to be able to have him stop syncing until I can work with him to try and resolve the problems. But I live 5 states away...

Pls add a pause synch function that works. I just described my problem in this thread, this is basically the same request: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photos...

Wow, I see I posted my original post in this thread one year ago.   Is it true that LR Mobile will still automatically sync without the ability to pause it?  I dumped LR Mobile when I realized how unresponsive Adobe is to logical requests.

this is frustrating! I paid for the premium LR thinking I'd have the ability to do things like pause syncing.

You'll never get it.  The LR mobile team is tone deaf and refuses to do this.  I posted my original question here three years ago.  So absurd.
