    System Preferences/iCloud - make sure photos is checked and in Option, all 3 boxes are checked. If they are, uncheck photos wait about 20 seconds for the link to break, then check it again. Quit and reopen Photos.

    I have the same issue, and this did not work. When I placed the checkmark for Photos again, it wants to reload all my photos from my Mac to iCloud again, and I neither want to duplicate the photos, nor pay for extra storage.

    Okay, I'm an idiot. I forgot that I had turned off wifi while at the airport yesterday, to avoid that horrible Boingo service. Turned it back on, and pictures are syncing again.
