I wanted to use Apple Photos to always have my photos in the same albums across all devices without plugging anything in. However, even one album seems to take days to upload. I have a 50Mbps upload with fiber optic. It should be able to upload all my photos quickly.
I'm guessing they have it throttled. How can I change that?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), iOS 8.1.2
The uploads only occur when the Mac is awake, powered and connected to the internet - set it not to sleep and keeps it on and powered and that is all yo can do - that should do more than 1000 a day though

Thanks for that info but the situation is VERY annoying. I have been trying to upload 3,000 photos for weeks and am lucky if I get 10 uploaded per day. It could take me a year to get my recent travel photos uploaded at this rate and by then I will have many more photos waiting.
The bottleneck isn't due to your internet provider but at the Apple servers. Users are typically reporting very long upload times, like 10 day or more for 7,000 photos.
You can try pausing the upload for a bit and then reinstate it.
How to make Photos upload faster?
