Displaying hidden photos in iCloud Photos Photos in my hidden album are shown in my iCloud Photos when viewing from my PC. I thought that is not supposed to happen. I was scrolling for a photo at work and imagine my embarrassment when a private photo was displayed

Unfortunately, you can't disable syncing the Hidden folder without disabling iCloud Photos all together. You can send feedback to Apple at https://apple.com/feedback.

Sorry I couldn't help you.
