How many photos can be shared in a folder? Are there any restrictions to file size and quantity?

I have chosen about 150 photos taken from a camera to share with others. the upload seemed to have taken a long time. They appeared to be sent in groups. But I am only able to see 100 photos in the shared folder. are there any specs to share with how this is managed?



Thanks in advance.

There are several limits to sharing photos as shared albums, because it does not count against your free iCöoud allowance, see this page:


iCloud: My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing limits



iCloud Photo Sharing limits

These are the iCloud Photo Sharing hourly and daily limits:

  • Maximum combined number of photos and videos from all contributors per shared album, per hour: 1000

These sharing limits are separate from the upload limits above. For example, in the same day you could upload 10,000 photos to My Photo Stream, then share those 10,000 photos or 10,000 other photos.Some additional limits for shared albums:
