Sharing from Photos to Facebook

Since I am forced to use Photos with the continual gelding of iPhoto by Apple, I would like to share pictures from Photos to Facebook. However, there is no Facebook extension under SHARE. I've tried to find if there is something to add, but have come up empty. Ideas, please!

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), macOS Mojave (10.14.1)

Indeed. Apple has withdrawn from trying to maintain special linkages to the proliferating array of social media networks.


Until Facebook creates a Photos extension to post pictures to their system, you have to go about it the other way around:

Open Facebook in a browser, create a new photo post, and use the media browser* in the Open dialog to reach into the System Photos Library to grab pictures. Not nearly as convenient as the direct link that used to be in Photos, but it gets the job done.


* Scroll down in the left column of the Open dialog until you find "Media"; select "Photos" below that header.
