Actually Adobe Lightroom catalogue is an database, inclduing the location info of your photos, modification you made for the photos. It didn't modify the original file but just in the database. So even you sync all the photos and LR catalogue via Dropbox or other cloud drive between PC and MAC, Lightroom might not work properly.

Recent convert to MAC but still use PC as well and was wondering if I can open and use the LR catalog that exists on a shared drive between the 2 machines (not at the same time).

Enter Library Grid view. Enter Library Compare view. Enter Library Survey view. Open selected photo in the Develop module. Open Lightroom on your mac (assuming it is already installed) and make sure you are in Library. This time we need to click on the “Import” button (picture below). A window opens up“Import Photos or Lightroom Catalog”. Now, via Lightroom application, go and find that folder called “Lightroom”.

<h2>From Laptop to Desktop: Syncing Catalogs on Two Computers</h2>

If you’re running Lightroom on a laptop during your location shoots, you might want to take all the edits, keywords, metadata, and of course the photos themselves, and add them to the Lightroom catalog on your studio computer. It’s easier than it sounds: basically, you choose which catalog to export from your laptop, then you take the folder it creates over to your studio computer and import it—Lightroom does all the hard work for you, you just have to make a few choices about how Lightroom handles the process.

Step One:

Using the scenario described above, we’ll start on the laptop. The first step is to decide whether you want to export a folder (all the imported photos from your shoot), or a collection (just your Picks from the shoot). In this case, we’ll go with a collection, so go to the Collections panel and click on the collection you want to merge with your main catalog back in your studio. (If you had chosen a folder, the only difference would be you’d go to the Folders panel and click on the folder from that shoot instead. Either way, all the metadata you added, and any edits you made in Lightroom, will still be transferred over to the other machine.)

Step Two:

Now go under Lighroom’s File menu and choose Export as Catalog (as shown here).

Step Four:

When you click the Export Catalog button, it exports your catalog (it usually doesn’t take very long, but of course the more photos in your collection or folder, the longer it will take), and when it’s done exporting, you’ll see the folder on your computer that you exported (as seen here). I usually save this file to my desktop, because the next step is to copy it onto an external hard drive, so you can move this folder full of images over to your studio computer. So, go ahead and copy this folder onto an external hard drive now.

Step Six:

When you click the Choose button, it brings up the Import from Catalog dialog (seen here). Any photos in the Preview section on the right that have a checkbox turned on beside them will be imported (I always leave all of these turned on). In the New Photos section on the left is a File Handling pop-up menu. Since we already copied the photos into the proper folder on our studio computer, I’m using the default setting which is Add New Photos to Catalog Without Moving (as shown here), but if you want to copy them directly from your hard drive into a folder on your computer, you could choose the Copy option instead. There’s a third option, but I have no idea why at this point you’d choose to not import the photos. Just click Import, and these photos will appear as a collection, with all the edits, keywords, etc., you applied on your laptop.
