Hi, I've uploaded my entire library to iCloud about 11k pictures so far, but I have the originals stored locally. My question is that when I share an album with a friend photos starts to upload those pics again to the cloud? why is this necessary as i've already uploaded all of them? I can't find an answer to this anywhere, I thought iCloud would just link those pics to the shared album... am I wrong?

Edit: when i share an album on my iPhone it shares the pics instantly, but not on my mac. But in iOS it won't let me do all the pics at the same time for some reason, i select all of them, but it only seems to handle 20 at a time...
