Dumb question. I have many thousands of photos and videos in SMUGMUG. They are not located on any local machine or drive. So, what are some paths for starting to use the SMUGMUG plugin's synchronization function? It appears that I have to download my entire SMUGMUG contents locally, and then import that into lightroom.

    You can sync hierarchy without needing to have your photos in your Lightroom catalog. Syncing hierarchy will let you see your folder and gallery hierarchy from SmugMug in LR allowing you to easily create new folders/galleries and or update settings. If you wanted to use sync photos you must have the images in the LR catalog first, the sync photos feature will scan your SmugMug galleries and attempt to match the images to photos that already exist in your Lightroom catalog, then link them.
