iCloud Error Message: The upload folder for iCloud Photos is missing. Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder.

iCloud Message advises: "The upload folder for iCloud Photos has been moved or deleted. Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder." I have used the "repair iCloud" option in Programs and Features. That did not solve the problem. I don't really understand what "pick a new folder" means. HELP!

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1

I have/had the same problem, just started this morning. I tried a system restore to a known good date. I still had the problem so I rolled restored the system to the latest.

Thinking that it might have something to do with priviliges, I reviewed my user account and noticed it was set to "Administrator". On a whim, I switched my user account from administrator to "standard user" and I'll be... the issue dissapeared. I have no idea why. But I thought I'd pass it along.
