Photos stopped importing

I'm trying to import photos to the Photos program by clicking and dragging from a Cloud folder in Finder, but Photos suddenly stopped accepting imports. Why? What's happening? I've imported 5000 photos this way.

Can you do it using file>import within photos?

What about if you copy them to a non cloud folder first?

Importing in Photos doesn't work anymore Hello all, I cannot import anymore pictures in Photos, neither from file of pics on the desktop nor from SD card (clean pictures shot after formatting SD card). The importation sequence can be initiated, the progress bar indicates processing of import is happening and a count of imported pictures is shown, but no photos are imported, neither in Library, nor in Import, nor in New Album. Have also checked the master file where pics are stored, folders of importation are created, but are empty. Have repaired the Photo library, no change. Was wondering also if there is any limitation in the number of photos that Photos can handle? Any hint please?

Imported photos not available in main photo library My photos/Macbook Pro has been working fine with imported photos until two weeks ago. Now when I upload photos I can see them in Imports but not in my main library which means I can't see them on my phone or iPad. Any ideas?
