Lightroom Classic plug-in

Publish to your portfolio from Lightroom Classic

A Lightroom Classic publish service that sends your photos, titles and captions straight into FolioVector galleries. Re-edit a photo, publish again, and FolioVector swaps in the new version. Your galleries stay drafts until you publish the site yourself.

Set up once

  1. Download it from the admin. Open Tools › Lightroom Classic plug-in in FolioVector. The page lists the zip's SHA-256, so you can check the file before you install it.

  2. Add it in Lightroom. File › Plug-in Manager › Add, then Publish Services › FolioVector › Set Up.

  3. Connect with a token. Make one on the same admin page, pick the sites it can reach, and paste it in once. Lightroom keeps it in its password store.

  4. Make a published collection and pick its FolioVector site. Nothing's pre-selected, so you can't land on a live site by accident.

Questions

Does Lightroom's Publish button put photos on my live site?

No. It uploads into draft galleries in FolioVector, and nothing goes live until you press Publish in the admin.

Which Lightroom versions does it support?

It's a standard Lightroom Classic publish service. I've tested it on Lightroom Classic 15.6 on Windows 11.

Where is my access token stored?

In Lightroom's own password store, never in the catalog or a preset. A token only reaches the sites and permissions you gave it. It expires, and you can rotate or revoke it whenever you want.

What happens with very large files or a dropped connection?

Uploads go to storage in 8 MiB pieces and resume where they stopped. After three failed tries, that one file starts over.

Does it cost extra?

No. It comes with your FolioVector account, and you download it from inside the admin.

Lightroom stays your darkroom. FolioVector is the wall.
