I did not realize that there were two plans @ $9.99 a month.

A plan that gives you Lightroom and 1T of cloud storage

and a plan that gives you Lightroom, Photoshop and 20GB of cloud storage.

I have been using the LR & PS plan. I do use PS, but not that often.

Does anyone here use the LR + 1T plan?

I will put in one opinion. I do not use any cloud storage - you are dependent on the storage company staying in business and accessible*. Yes I know it is from Adobe, but does Adobe maintain the storage servers or contract it? And is your internet 100% reliable 100% of the time to access that 1T.
I prefer multiple external drives in addition to my internal image drive for backups.

* Back in the early days of cloud storage I read an article about a photographer on assignment for I believe it was Nat Geo. He was working and living with some nomads in far western China and only coming out to a major Chinese city periodically for supplies, communication and to load all his photos to a cloud storage site. Well a couple of days after one of his trips to the city the server farm company went bankrupt and notified all customers they had 30 days to download their images. (a few thousand in his case) Six weeks later when he finished his work with the nomads he came out and discovered that his images had been purged. He was able to put together a photo essay for the assignment from that 6 weeks but he said some of his best images were in the lost files. He vowed to always carry a laptop with drive for storage or just buy lots of memory cards and keep all images on them until he finished his assignments.

So, having known Mr Murphy for decades I don't use cloud storage and I maintain copies of my own. Yes I know Murphy can strike my internal and/or external drives. Thus the multiple copies.

Besides I use LR & PS (plus some other PP apps).

The photographer's plan includes Lightroom CC (Cloud based storage) Lightroom Classic CC (The computer based version) and Photoshop.
As I understand it, Lightroom CC does not have all of the features of Lightroom Classic CC.
From what I have read LR CC is intended for people who need to be able to access their images from anywhere on any device.
LR Classic CC is the replacement for LR 6.x stand alone version and is what most of us here probably need.

If I had $5 for every freebie Cloud Storage plan that is available to me, I'd be wealthy.

I don't use Adobe's cloud storage. I use Mozy which I have used for years. However, it is only one of several backups that I use. I do not trust my data to only one method.

Like many folks I would not even consider using Cloud storage unless I was traveling for business and would need to access my storage from any device in any location.

This is exactly what it is. It was very confusing when I switched over. Also note that additional storage will cost you big time. I would suggest staying with the "Classic" also.

I agree with those who don't use cloud storage. I have a number of subscription services that offer "free " cloud storage, and I use none of it for both privacy and security reasons. I have nothing to hide, but I don't want my name, birth date, SSN, etc, etc, floating around the dark web for sale. Unfortunately, based on credit card and personal US Govt correspondence warning me that this, and more, information had been compromised, I now have 3 "free" credit reporting service subscriptions so I can monitor my credit for identity theft. I am not paranoid about much, but I do no trust any mass storaged except my own approx 20 TB storage that is divided into separate locations. Personal mass storage is so cheap today that this is an easy reach. I am an avid user of the subscription versions of Lightroom Classic and Photoshop.

There are two $9.99 plans.

One (which I have now) is the photography plan with LR, PS and 20 GB of storage.

The other is Lightroom CC (no PS no LR Classic CC) and 1T of cloud storage.

I was curious if anyone had opted for the second plan. A plan that I only chanced upon the other day. It does not really appeal to me and I just wondered who the target audience of the plan is.

There is a third plan that adds the 1T to the LR + PS plan but it runs $19.99 a month. or $10 for the cloud storage.

I'd guess that with the popularity of the upgraded Lightroom, they will soon up the price on the LR/PS package.

dsmeltz Loc: Philadelphia

Just had a thought. Could it be, with cell phones capturing RAW files, there is a market to supply off camera storage and RAW file PP to cell phone users? Could that be the target audience for the LR with 1T? People who live in their phones?

I use a Google Pixel, so I already have unlimited cloud storage for my phone images, but I know most phones do not come with that.

I use nothing in the cloud, and would never purchase this plan.

Your home burns down, there's an earthquake and it falls into a chasm, Hurricane Whatever rolls through and scrapes your property and possessions into the Gulf of Mexico.

My first sentence is complete hyperbole, but disaster recovery is why you need Cloud Storage for critical files, folders and photographs.

aubreybogle Loc: Albuquerque, NM

You have a point, but I have other storage options to protect my backups. Though I have nothing to hide, I don't trust the security of any cloud storage. That is the primary reason I don' use it.
