Difficulty saving photos/albums from iMac to iCloud

I have tried all the options to download all my photos/albums from my iMac to iCloud and nothing has worked. I purchased 200 Gigs of storage and have 85 Gigs of photos on my mac hard drive. Why can't I save those to iCloud?

Are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?




A reference library won't sync to iCloud. Also be aware that the iCloud Library is only a syncing feature and not an off computer storage facility. Any changes make to either library, i.e. additions, edits or deletions, will be reflected in the other library.
