In reply to Jake. Hi Jake, Depending on your situation and what is considered missing/offline, it is best to start at the folder level (if entire folders show as missing) and at the highest parent folder, so that by simply reconnecting that folder you reconnect all photos and folders within that parent folder. If the folders show as online/available in the Folders panel and you just have individual photos missing within a given folder, then reconnecting at the individual photo level can only "look" for nearby photos within the folder where the selected photo resides.

Thanks for this tutorial!

One question: I’ve used the “Find Missing” command but it only seems to work for the one folder I’m working in at a time. The surrounding folders don’t seem to get updated.

Is there anyway to “expand” that locate nearby photos command to the entire library?

Once all drives are connected and you still encounter offline/missing folders or photos, here are the ways to resolve those issues. […]
