Videos shared in Photos on Mac not uploading

I've been trying to share some Videos to a Shared folder in Photos on my Mac, but they're not showing up on other devices. If I download the video to my iPad Pro (iPadOS 13), I can share it from there, and it works just fine. In fact, the videos eventually show up on my Mac in the Photos app. The original videos are on my Mac, so I'd rather share them directly from there. Bug in the Catalina Photos app??

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Possible solution: Go to Settings / Apple ID / iCloud and turn off Photos. Tell it to keep local copies. Wait a few minutes, then enable Photos in iCloud again. Voila! Shared Folders reload and contain everything that has been shared. Adding an item to share from my Mac also seems to work. It now says it's uploading 15,000+ photos, but I could care less. Turning off and back on forced it to re-sync with iCloud.
