But my question was different in the forums the question that was asked that I saw in some threads is how to share a album between two machines , suggestions were there sign in with same Apple ID and password on both machines .Why should a user do it ?

Every time sign out with my Mac and then setting up same Apple ID on both is practically tedious , as I have to again sign with my original apple id when the process of transferring is completed .


as most users have privacy issues , they don't share same Apple ID and password on both machines .

( both of them are signed with different Apple ID and password .

You cannot transfer the ownership of a shared album to a different AppleID. You can only invite yourself with the other AppleID to open the albums on the other device.

Once you can access the shared albums on a device with the different AppleID, you could recreate them with the different AppleID as the owner and copy the photos from the old version to the new version. But you will lose all comments.

You would only do that, when you are the only user on both machines. I am using the same AppleIDs on all my devices for iCloud services. Otherwise I could not profit from iCloud syncing. For different users it is better not to share the iCloud AppleID, if they do not want to share the iCloud Mail, Notes, Contacts, and all other iCloud services.
