I don't mind paying for additional space but it doesn't look like it will help raising the limit of 100 shared albums ... is it a hard limit ?
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.
I'm paying for Apple storage. I want to share all our family albums with my family, who have iPhones.
You do not pay for the cloud storage shared albums use. This is why it has hard limits.

This is honestly all stupid. I'm paying for Apple storage. I want to share all our family albums with my family, who have iPhones. Apple wants us to buy into their eco system but then keeps doing stupid things like this. Oh, not to mention how long it takes to upload photos to a shared album. Unbelievably bad.
Yes, it is a hard limit. Shared albums are using a different part of iCloud than iCloud Photo Library.
See: My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing limits - Apple Support
Do you need to share more than 100 albums?
If you just want to keep more photos in iCloud, use iCloud Photo Library instead.
Well we are maintaining a blog and pointing to these photos, so yes we'd like to share more than 100 albums .. thanks for your reply anyways
You can have 5000 photos in one album. Do you really need to create so many albums, or would it be possible to link to the individual photos from your blog?
No I really need to link to an album unfortunately .. I'm going to use Flickr for the moment being, I don't really see any other solution ...
The shared albums are just a quick and easy way to send the occasional photo to friends and family, but not a way to build a web gallery. You cannot sort the photos in a album, you cannot annotate them with captions or edit the webpage with the album. Apple simply does not support this any longer since the Mobile Me galleries are gone.
I've reached the 100 shared album limit, how can I raise this limit ?
