Mac Photos not uploading new images to cloud & devices

This seems odd. Photos is showing new images that have been added to the cloud from my two other devices, iPhone and iPad.


If I add an album on the iPad, it shows up on the Mac.

If I add images or photos on the iPad they show up on the Mac


If I add images, photos or albums on the Mac, they show on the Mac - but no where else?


They do not upload to the cloud.


help ?



Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Hello RobertChalmers,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to get photos to upload to iCloud from Photos app on your Mac, but you don't have this issue on your iOS devices. To help with this, please follow these steps from this Apple resource on your situation and then contact Apple if you need any further assistance.



"You can see if a photo or video has uploaded to iCloud when you open the Photos app and view your library in Moments. Your upload status is at the bottom of the menu. You can also find photos and videos from your Photos Library that haven't been uploaded to iCloud in a smart album on your Mac."
