Tthere is no such folder/album. My Photo Stream is a syncing service turned On or Off in Photos settings. It syncs new images from the Camera Roll album.

    Thanks for your help. It looks like I had it switched off. I turned it on now, and there are no pictures. I imagine when I start taking new pictures they will move to My Photo Stream. One other issue I do not have an album named Camera Roll album. I have one for ... All Photos, Favorites, Selfies, Videos, Bursts, Recently deleted, Reference, and My Photo Stream.

     

    Will My Photo Stream pull from the other albums?

    You posted in an iOS forum, so I assumed your question was about Photos on an iDevice.

     

    Camera Roll exists only on iPhones and other iDevices, not on Macs.

    When My Photo Share is enabled, it syncs new photos from the Camera Roll on your iDevice to Photos on your Mac. These will be added to your Photos Library and you can view them in the Photos and All Photos albums. There will not be an album named My Photo Share. If you import photos manually, the last imported batch will be in a Recently Added album.
