Hi everyone,

I'm on macOS and using the donation edition of the software.

I'm trying to sync my local photo folder (~400GB) to my NAS. However, the comparison process is taking over 2 hours because the software is getting stuck analyzing my Lightroom preview file. Although Finder shows it as a single 15GB file, it's actually a package containing thousands of small files, which slows down the comparison significantly.

Since this file doesn't really need to be compared (it's okay to just copy it), I'd prefer to force the software to sync it without deep inspection.

Is there a way to force a file or folder to be synced without comparison?

If not, I’ll try to exclude it and handle it manually — but that’s not ideal.

Thanks in advance for your help!
