The Auto Import feature automatically imports photos into a Lightroom Classic catalog or a collection by monitoring a watched folder for photos and then importing them into a catalog. After you specify auto-import settings, you can simply drag photos into the watched folder, and Lightroom Classic imports them automatically, allowing you to bypass the import window.

Editor’s note: Florian did get it to work; if setting this up for yourself, be sure to test sending to someone else and not to yourself.

Joseph, What a great tip. But I set this up as you outlined and when I send a photo the person does not see the image and when I look at my messages and press on the info icon and get a message that it is waiting for the image to be accepted. Is that something that needs to be changed in the phone settings? I tired sending to my wife and then to me and I get the same message and no picture.
