How do I upload photos from my PC to an Icloud shared family album

We are trying to share our photos but I have a huge archive on my PC I want to add. How can I upload them to a shared family album?

You can either download the iCloud for Windows Application and use the included iCloud Photos location that will appear in Windows Explorer, or log in to the iCloud.com website and use the Photos App there. Any shared albums will also show up there.

Sorry, it seems then its not possible to access shared albums on a Windows PC. Was not aware of this limitation.
