You're welcome Bill! I'm with you. I wish there was a way to connect to Lightroom CC directly from my camera. One thing I really love about Lightroom CC is the ability to capture images with my phone in manual mode and and save raw files that are actively synced to my Lightroom Classic CC on my desktop. Of course the files within LR CC can also be edited with either LR CC or LR Classic CC and both locations are kept up to date. There is complete transparency between file locations.
I use the syncing and sharing capabilities quite frequently to share a large number of images with viewers and clients. Syncing images to the cloud is so much faster and easier then it is to produce jpegs and download them for sharing. I not only sync my RAW files but also TIFF files with no issues.
I have more then 6,000 images stored in the cloud via LR CC and have only used 12gb of available 20gb of space provided through the Adobe CC Photography plan.
I am aware this is more information then anyone requested and is a little aside of the original post. However, I hope it helps at least a few of the readers on this forum.

Thanks Steve.
I keep thinking one of the camera companies is going to build something less clunky into some of their models. My granddaughters daily demonstrate the superior connected interface on their phones.
I want a "real" camera with a direct connection to my cell phone account instead of a connection via my phone.

As a side opportunity, it also offers help to others on the forum who may be new to Lightroom as well as unfamiliar with methods to use the features of an operating system efficiently.
As for your question regarding why shoot in both modes, that's really up to individual preferences and objectives. There are reasons to shoot raw, there are reasons to shoot JPEG, and there are reasons to shoot both. On this forum many have stated their reasons for each and, too, there is a plethora of discussions and debate on the same. I didn't believe discussing shooting raw versus JPEG versus both would address crphoto8's problems---stated and implied. I, personally, shoot raw and that is my preference but I do have a multitude of JPEG images taken with cell phones before discovering the Galaxy Note Pro mode during my long sabbatical from photography between film and digital.

Thanks Charles for providing a concise discussion on personal choices regarding image recording. I stated in the OP my reasons for saving both RAW and JPEG. These are indeed my preferences and the download question followed from there. There was no intention to argue the merits and disadvantages of the various recording combinations.
