Q: Photos sharing upload progress

Is there a way to see the upload progress when sharing an album with Photos? It takes ages to start the upload. Sometimes I think is not uploading so I send it again and it create duplicates.

Also when sharing videos usually give an error, after a while, saying that I need to connect to the internet. My connection is working good.

Thanks

    You can see how many photos have uploaded to the cloud by viewing the shared album in your photos app on your Mac.

    it takes too long to start uploading full albums, specially with videos. So I don't see any photo on the shared album in my photos app on my mac. Then when starts I don´t know if it is finished.

    I have an album with 400 pics and it just upload 200 weeks ago. I assume is finished uploading. Now I want to upload the rest. The problem is that I don't know what photos are missing. If I send everything again it creates duplicates. Just because I think checking photo by photo between 400 is not a good solution

    Then it would seem you have no need to send everything again, just wait for it to finish. I appreciate it can take a while, but sending everything again clearly isn't the way to make things quicken up.

    I Think the question was  "Is there a way to see the progress?"   No one will repost if they just know they are loading for sure in the first place.
