I recently started using LR Mobile since upgrading to iOS10 so I can shoot in Raw. My typical workflow previously was to shoot in the native Camera App and then all my photos would sync through Dropbox automatically and then I would import them into full LR on my computer. As long as I am on WiFi Dropbox syncs almost immediately, and if for some reason it isn't immediate, I can just go into the Dropbox app and force a sync.

I'd like to use LR mobile more for shooting, but I am finding terrible lag in getting the photos to my computer. I will shoot in LRM, then click on the Cloud icon, and it will upload my image and say "All Up to Date" but the photos don't show up on my computer.

How do I force computer LR to read from the cloud? I have tried to Synchronize that folder, but it still doesn't pick up new images. The option for "Sync with Lightroom Mobile" seems to be on, because if I hover over it, I get the pause button, not a start button.
