iCloud Photo Albums

Hello, I have 2 questions in managing iCloud photos. My MacBook Air & iPhone photos are not automatically sync to iCloud, since I prefer upload in a sorted way.


  1. how can I delete album from iCloud.com - I can only rename it but no way I can delete it
  2. can I directly drag organised photo albums from Mac to iCloud per album?

The iPhone and Mac must be signed in with same Apple ID and password on the same network and the applications box ( photos must be turned as on in both Set up iCloud on all your devices - Apple Support

You must not be using only web account Web-only access to iCloud - Apple Support

In iPhone set up iCloud photos Use iCloud Photos on iPhone - Apple Support

In Mac the photo library and its preferences must be set up Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

You can't delete photo albums from iCloud.com , rather open photo application of Mac , right click on album and delete it , it will get deleted from iCloud.com

Also in iCloud.com you can't drag and drop albums from Mac to iCloud .
