Family sharing - entire Photos library - cannot get it to work

Bought 200GB iCloud on MacOS X High Sierra laptop and synced large photos library (80GB). Now want to share entire library with my partner (all on MacOSX High Sierra) - cannot get sharing to work - followed up all Apple support articles. NO results, a joined /shared Family album is not showing up nowhere. Any suggestions?

MacBook, macOS 10.13

@TonyCollinet, thanks, I really thought I can share the entire library... it seems to me one of the key features why one wants to use Family sharing.... Are you aware of 3rd party apps which can do the trick?

You can't share the entire library - you can only share a family album in the shared album section, and you have to manually put the images into that album.

I was disappointed with this also.
