Q: iCloud can't recognise old Photo Library
Hi
I have one Photos Library in separate partition (Media) on my Mac, which is my main Library and it’s also uploaded on iCloud, although it’s huge in size (151.06 GB disk space). Recently I did clean install of El Capitan on my Macbook.
After clean install I just double clicked it to use it in Photos and make it as my System Photo Library, it’s fine now it’s my System Photo Library but when I try to turn on iCloud Photo Library by going in Preference in Photos it ask me to upgrade my iCloud Storage plan (currently I have 200GB plan).
“This computer is storing 141.72 GB of photos and videos. You have 79.81 GB of iCloud storage available. Find out if your current plan will fit your library”
I think it is taking it as a new library but I don’t want to upload 151GB library again even I have extra iCloud space.
I just want iCloud to recognise it as an old library and update it. In last few days I have taken lot of pictures on iPhone and those are already in my iCloud. I want them to sync with my this library automatically like before.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
