all photos not uploading to icloud

I have 9830 photos on my Mac. 9828 photos have synced to iCloud. How do I figure out which two photos did not sync and why?

Hey there, GKinAZ,


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities. We understand that it can be tricky sorting through a large photo library, but we'd like to share some advice that may help you get to the bottom of this.


Since you have access to a Mac, you should be able to use a Smart Library to accomplish your goal here. To do that, open Photos on the Mac and create a new Smart Album. In the window that pops up, set the parameters to match this condition:


"Photo is unable to to upload to iCloud Photos"


Then, when you create that album, it should show you those two photos that weren't able to upload to iCloud! You can find more information on that feature right here: Create Smart Albums to group photos automatically in Photos on Mac - Apple Support


We hope this does the trick for you!


Cheers.
