[QUOTE="lbsimon50, post: 1933865, member: 402398"] Well, I know what I am talking about while you do not know what I am talking about! :) Sorry for the confusion. What I meant to say that I have a lot of photos on my iPhone that are of course backed up on the iCloud. It is those photos that I can add to a shared folder of the Photo app on the Mac. What I cannot do is to add pictures that are not on the iCloud, those that are located on an external drive. And just to provide a bigger picture (pun intended): I shot a lot of photos with an iPhone during the travel. I moved these photos to the external drive in order to import them to LightRoom, a photo editing software. It is much easier to edit a large number of images using this software, way easier than on a phone. So I was able to select only the best shots and edit them on the external drive. These are the photos that I have a problem with. Of course I can use one of those sharing services like Google shared drive, or Dropbox, or Amazon cloud, or even iCloud, but that would mean that I will have to actually upload the images to those service, while I hoped that Apple can do this easy from one Apple device to another. I don't think I will continue to pursue it any further. Thanks everybody. [/QUOTE]
