Why can't I see "My Photo Stream" under my macbook Photos > Preferences > iCloud settings?

In every article I've found Online, screenshots show an option "My Photo Streams" under Photos > Preferences > iCloud. However, this option is not available on my MacBook Air. Anyone has a clue why?


What I'm trying to do is basically set up My Photo Stream so that it's visible on my MacBook. Currently it's not visible under the normal Photos > Library path.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

I think it depends on the OS that you are running. If the MacBook is still pre Catalina, then photo stream should still work. Interestingly, iOS 13.2.3 (just released today) still supports Photo Stream. I have used Photo Stream for years but recently it was becoming unreliable. Then it was dropped in Catalina, so I switched to the paid plan - iCloud Photo Library, which has so far had it's issues.
