Hi,
I have moved my photo library from my iMac to an external hard disk and set the new location as the system photo library. I previously used iCloud photo library set to "download originals to this mac" on the internal hard disk, so I could have a complete backup on my mac as well as viewing them in the cloud across all my devices.
Now when I turn on iCloud within photos it prompts me to upgrade to the next storage plan (from 200GB to 1TB) as an additional 172GB is required. My photo library is 178GB in total.
It appears to be trying to upload all my photos again rather than merge with the existing ones?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
