Photo albums in iCloud

From my iMac when I import photos and create a new photo album how do I get those photos into iCloud and share them across devices?

Just enable iCloud photos on all your devices.


Photos ➔ Preferences ➔ iCloud ➔ iCloud Photo Library ➔ On (on a Mac)

Settings ➔ Photos ➔ iCloud Photo Library ➔ On (on a mobile device)

It can depend on what's going on with those devices. If they themselves had already started an upload to the cloud, that will need to finish before they will start to download new photos in the cloud from the iMac after starting up iCloud photos. However, it usually isn't all that long before you see it start, although it may take some considerable time before it finishes.


How long has it been?
