Q: Can anyone explain how Photos works
Hi All;
So, I'm genuinely confused with how the Photos App (program) works.
I just returned from a vacation and have a combination of 325 photos and videos that I want to share (from my IMac) with friends and family.
The steps I followed are ...
1) From an album in Photos I selected all 325 items
2) From the "box with the up arrow" (top right on my IMac) I click and choose "ICloud Photo Sharing"
3) From there, I do (a) click Family Sharing ... and it automatically starts an upload or (b) click "New Shared Album" .. fill in a New Name for the shared album ...
invite the folks I want (using either their phone number or ICloud email address) and click Create. (I see the upload happening and complete with the circle on
the left side.
Right so far ?
Results ...
Family Sharing .... the invitee received a combination of 1500 photos and videos
From the Newly Created Shared Album ... 1) 373 items 2) 323 items and 3) none
All the shared albums (including Family) have been chugging away for almost 4 hours now and were created from new.
Any help would be appreciated ...
Thanks Mark
