iPhotos no longer working with iCloud on my iMac after updating dropbox

How do move my iPhotos library to a local folder on my iMac so that it once again syncs with iCloud.  I need my iPhone to synch with my apps through iCloud.

When your photos do get uploaded to your account and get synced to the camera uploads folder, you should be able to drag and drop them anywhere you want.

 

You mentioned that you can't do that, can you let us know why?

Yes that is a big thing I wanted to be able to do.  But after some experimentation I have now managed to do that - it is different to what I expected .  It looks like you have to hold shift and then click on each photo you want to move.  I get the message photo could not be moved because it does not exist for some of the photos  - when I know they do - strange.  I accept I have to learn how this new system works.  Is there a user guide I can access.

    Hi Steve A.15, currently, there isn't a user guide for the steps you're taking to move files to another location.
