Hello apple gurus. I need help. I have a ton of pics in folders on my hard drive. I want to upload the folders to keep the organization I already have. iCloud says it can’t upload folders. Help?

You have created an untitled folder in finder > Macintosh HD > users > your user name ( photos you have stored ) .

Storing massive photos will occupy massive space of hard drive .

Select those photos use command and A keys , then right click over the selected items and share > click on add to photos .





Open photo application from Mac , those photos will be uploaded in the application as well in iCloud

Make sure you have set up photo library Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support and its preferences Change preferences in Photos on Mac - Apple Support

Note : you can't upload the folder in www.icloud.com ( only photos will be uploaded ) Upload and download photos using iCloud.com - Apple Support
