Hey Everyone

I have some Photos related questions

1. My primary iPhoto library was on an external drive. I have made it the primary iCloud photo Library. The library has been uploading for more than na day. It is large about 500GB, but does that seem correct?

2. I would in fact like to keep my files both in the cloud and stored on that external device. Am I correct that Optimize Mac Storage is checked and I will be able to do that?

3. Through iTunes I synced some photos from iPhoto directly onto my iPhone. I used it the way one might have used a wallet with pictures once a upon a time. If I want to sync my phone to the cloud, do I lose that option. I realize these days that its more and more rare to be without a signal, but I would still like to have the option to keep the files directly on the phone. Is that possible?(without going through a 3rd party app?)

Thanks for the help. I think I like this better, just a little confused by it is all.
