Iphoto errors and local copies not working

Recently (say the last few weeks) I've been having a lot of difficulty with Photos not loading photos and videos. I'm assuming that the full file is stored in iCloud. Upstream syncing has always been dodgy since our upload speeds are so slow, but our download speeds are very high (40+). I don't have any storage issues on cloud or local drive. I'll click to look at a video or file, or try to export and it just won't happen.

The last week I've been trying to create more shared albums. When trying to share them, I often get no results (just an empty album), sometimes I'll get a vague error ("There was a problem adding photos to this album" or something like that.) Today I tried a different approach and got a very specific error (see below). I'm not terribly sharp when it comes to code but it is clearly saying that it can't make the resource locally available (i.e. download it).

Is iCloud having issues? Is there a way to get past these problems? Thanks.
