I've had iCloud issues on my MBP before with contacts, but photos always transferred perfectly. Well, I had a folder of home videos that I needed to adjust the date on (about 150 or so). I had about 70 of the 150 left to do, when I noticed everything was not syncing. Low and behold, my Photos on the MBP was acting up and said "last updated __ hours ago" or something. I tried everything from leaving it overnight to trying to upload a pic to "refresh" it and nothing worked. So I thought about unchecking iCPL and rechecking it. This way it'll re-upload for a day or so but I won't lose my progress with the date fixing.
Well, I left my laptop reuploading all day but I am noticing that my photo library in iCloud is getting bloated. It has 18,000 of the 20,000 left but it is already at a significantly bigger size and my iPhone is telling me there is not enough space to download all originals (even though before it was fine and I deleted all my music?). I had to buy more iCloud storage and I am thinking of just deleting all pics on my MBP and downloading everything from iCloud instead of "re-uploading" since it's slow and is bloating my library, but not sure if that will affect things in the middle. What do I do and how do I get rid of the bloating - let it finish uploading or deleting and downloading? Is there any way to keep my progress on the dates? Also, should I delete everything in iCloud and reupload since my local photo library is significantly smaller?
