1. Download & Preparation
Download the latest version of the plugin and move the "Picflow.lrplugin" file to a safe location. We recommend saving it somewhere close to your Lightroom Catalog.
ℹ️ Make sure the Picflow.lrplugin file won't get moved or deleted later!
2. Installing the Plug-in
To install the plugin we need to launch the Plug-in Manager. To do this, open Lightroom Classic and then select "File → Plug-in Manager...".
Click "Add" on the bottom left of the Plug-in Manager and select the "Picflow.lrplugin" file in the location you saved it. Click "Done" to complete the installation.
3. Plug-in Setup & Connection
In your Lightroom Classic Library, there should be a new Publish Service called "Picflow". Click the "Set Up..." button to open the Publishing Manager.
In the Publishing Manager, click the "Authorize" button. This will open your browser and ask you to log in to Picflow, if you're not logged in already.
Select the workspace you want to connect and click "Connect Lightroom". You will be taken back to Lightroom. Press "Ok" in the popup to confirm the connection. Finally, press "Save" to finish the setup and close the Publishing Manager.
4. You're Done!
The Lightroom Plug-in is now successfully installed and you can create galleries within Lightroom and upload your media to Picflow. To learn more about this, visit:

You then have to go through the authorization steps again, where you can choose your new workspace.
Note: You can't reconnect to another workspace. To switch to a different workspace, add a new connection and remove the old one.
