ICloud Share Albums with Windows

I just set up ICloud on me HP after having a new hard drive installed. I checked all the right options in accordance with the instructions to access an sync with all my 10 plus ICloud Shared Albums. When I click on the Windows Apple Shared Albums icon the page that comes up is empty. It did not sync to my Apple current shared albums shown on my IPhone and IPad. When I go to Windows Explorer, there is a ICloud Icon. When I click on it all my document folders that I have saved to my ICloud drive were there along with all my share photo folders. The problem here is that my most recent photo upload to two of my folders were not there when they were shown on my IPhone and IPad. What have I missed during the setup process?

Windows, Windows 6

Hey Gamefish42,

I see that after setting up iCloud for Windows with a new hard drive, the shared albums are not syncing correctly.

Make sure those photos you're seeing on the iOS devices are successfully uploaded to iCloud by signing in to iCloud.com using a browser on a computer. If the files appear in iCloud, but are still not appearing in the shared albums on the PC, make sure that iCloud for Windows is updated by following the steps under "Update your version of iCloud for Windows" here: Set up and use iCloud for Windows - Apple Support. Let us know if you're still running into issues.

Cheers!

I already updated ICloud for Windows to the most current version. Here are my folders. I can see all my folders but many are empty. You can see that the ones where a photo is visible contains photos in these folders. All the rest of the folders are empty with no photos. So what's up?
