When try to sync photos in Itunes, I am not given the option to select a folder

I am trying to transfer photos from my PC to my Iphone 6.


I open up the photos Tab in Itunes, and all it says is "ICloud Photos is on. Iphone can access photos in iCloud. Photos can be downloaded to your device via Wifi or cellular network." It doesn't give me the option to choose any folder containing photos. Is there a way to use itunes to put photos on my Iphone when I am not given the option to choose any folders or pictures even after I have successfully sync my computer to iphone? Below is a screen shot of what happens when I click on photos:

Hey David,
I understand that you need get some photos to your iPhone. I can help you out with that.
Because you are using iCloud Photo Library, you will need to upload them. You can do this by downloading iCloud for Windows on your PC. Once it is downloaded and installed, it will create a folder that will have the same photos that show up your iPhone. From here you can add anything you want and those changes will be reflected on your iPhone. Take a look at the article below for more details about iCloud for Windows.

Now if you are unable to install the app, you do have the option to upload the photos to iCloud.com. Doing this will also update the information on your iPhone. Take a look at the next link for more details on how to do that.
