Hi
can icloud photo sharing shared full photo album (without selecting specific pictures from the album) ?
I’d tried, but the album (created on sharing) has no pictures in it.
it worked if I select the pictures, but won‘t work if I onky select the photo album (from my mac)
thx
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
you have to select the photos you want to share to share them

Yes I did, read my 3rd post / reply
And Yes I NOW know (Photos / iCloud does not have this feature). I’m not insisting apple to make this available. I will just use other cloud option
Open an album and type command a to select all then share - the addition of one key stroke does not seem to be a giant deal to me - if it is to you then tell Apple what you think a better solution would be - Product Feedback - Apple
I personally think that your method would be a disaster and that many people (probably you included) would accidentally share entire albums when they only wanted to share one or two photos - to me selecting exactly what you want share makes a log of sense
So go ahead and tell Apple your thoughts

I told you my intention to frequently update or add new pictures to this particular album. In which I hope to be updated on the share allbum everytime I add new stuff in it.
Actually you NEVER said that - reread your posts- that is not a feature of Photos and again to suggest features use this page - Product Feedback - Apple

You state that you have Yosemite OS X 10.10.2 which is years out of date - is that correct? The current OS is High Sierra 10.13.6.
exactly what did you do? How many photos are you trying to share? How long have you given it to sync -- patience is a virtue?

Hello, thx for your answer
I’m using the latest mac os
Well .. i click on my album folder (on mac photo’s), then click on the sharing icon (top on left), click create icloud photo sharing, then typed/named my new create album sharing, and wait .... for hours. Still empty (no more than 50 pictures)
Then I tried again by select the pictures instead of selecting full album, and it didn’t get to several minutes, the pictures showed on my shared album
Oh ok, then it’s clear now. This feature is not allowed us to share full album directly (which I tend to update/add pictures frequently). I thought it just like kind of cloud file sharing feature. I don’t want to use icloud photo because I don’t want to sync all my pictures to icloud
Thx for ur confirmation
Uhm .. I never said that I complaint about adding few more command or selection.
I told you my intention to frequently update or add new pictures to this particular album. In which I hope to be updated on the share allbum everytime I add new stuff in it.
Then, when I added several pictures on this album, I should scroll down and search one by one and select the new added picture to be shared again ? Maybe for some, it would be no issue. For me, it will become troublesome if I have to remember which pictures I have already shared, which one is the new added and need to be shared, and so on
And I don’t think people will “accidentally” click album-share icon-icloud photo sharing-create new share album. There’re 4 steps at least to create and share an album. What people will “accidentally” do is, has wrong select some pictures which they don’t want to share
At the end, this feature is not suitable for What I want. So no biggie. I’m just asking and reconfirming. If it’s not applicable, Then I just don’t use photos app to view and share
yes that is an option and certainly what you use is your choice
good luck
