I can see all my photos in my photo library on my Mac. However when I go to upload photos it only shows a random collection of photos, not all the photos in my library. ''Use as system library'' is greyed out on my preferences, and I do not have this issue when uploading photos from my phone.
Thanks for reading.

Hi
Do you use iCloud photos, with optimise mac storage set. If so, it will only offer you photos that are currently on your mac. Since optimise storage moves photos off your mac into icloud, those will not be offered.
Your workaround is to first export them to a folder and then upload from the folder. (select the images you want then file>export)

I do and that worked!!! Thank you.
Do you know what determines what photos are currently on my mac? It is not the most recent photos, some seem to be from albums - but I can't identify a pattern.
Thanks again, much appreciated!!!
It will download items when you edit them, or export them, add to a shared album, or perhaps view them full size.
They will only be removed again when your mac needs the space, so images you've used can hang around for a while. It also doesn't necessarily remove them in the order they've been downloaded. So not being able to detect a pattern is also quite normal 🙃
Great! Thanks Tony! :-)
