The Photos Library must not be stored on iCloud Drive. Photos cannot work with a library on iCloud Drive. The syncing will damage the library. If you want to to store your Photos in iCloud, use iCloud Photos to upload the photos. But the library itself needs to be stored in your locally on your Mac, the Pictures folder would be the best place, or an external drive with a wired connection, not a network drive.
