I wasn't sure if this belonged in the MacOS forum, the Mac Apps forum, or the iCloud forum. So I guess I'll post it here. Like most people, I have a photo collection of several thousand photos. Recently, using the Photos app, I completed a massive project, classifying all my photos with keywords, sorted by family tree, decade, events and so on. I have created a number of smart albums based upon keywords.
Now, these smart albums do not appear in iCloud Photos, or on my iPhone, which got me thinking, all these keywords I added, they probably aren't propagating up to the cloud either. Is this correct? And if so, how can I fix this? I'd like these keywords and the keyword based albums sent up to the cloud if possible. Would I have to delete everything from iCloud and re-upload it all? I don't even know how to do that. But iCloud Photos is one of two backup systems I use, so I would like the photos there to have the keywords. Also, is it possible to send up smart albums? Or do I just need to re-create those albums manually on iCloud.com? How about my iPhone? Thanks.
