In Safari, on FB - I click the obvious places to add a photo and get a Finder-like window where on the left, under 'Media' I can select 'Photos' - and everything appears to the right of the sidebar, and photos are selectable... Equally to albums, etc - on Safari/Facebook - that behaves for me like it always has to make an anthology, rearrange, pick cardinal picture show, etc...
Is this a question or just an example?

I am trying to learn how to utilise the Mac Bone X Photos app to upload photos to my Facebook page, that is, inside the Photos app [five.ane.5], not when logged into my FB business relationship. I call up, probably from iPhotos daze, that I could practise that, but no more.

Non to cloud the primary result, but I take an entire Photos album of 23 photos that I'd like to post.

Get to your album, and at the pinnacle of the page is an icon that looks like a square with an arrow pointing up. Click on that icon for a list of options to use in sharing your photos. Facebook is ane of the options.

My issue: I create an album in Photos. And then go Facebook to upload the album I just made. Note: I'm not trying to upload to my personal
FB PAGE. I''thou trying to upload to a FB group/business page (not sure if that matters). Anyway, I striking "Create Album" push button which takes me to my files. I select PHOTOS nether Media drop downwards and the album I just created is not listed so I tin can non admission it. However... if I wait a few days, it sometimes volition appear. Information technology's crazy! I get to PHOTOS and information technology'due south in that location, but for some reason it won't allow me access it when trying to upload. Is in that location an access setting I need to deselect? Thank you to anyone who understands what I just typed! LOL!

GinaVF, I take this trouble also.

Firstly, Apple Photos is similar iTunes - they're both databases. Each photo is a blob within the database, and then it is invisible to the file organisation. Facebook etc tin but see the files in the file organization. It cannot see inside the database of photos, so it tin't notice anything.

Apple Photos will only assistance y'all send a photo to your own Facebook page, using the icon that looks like a box with an arrow pointing up.

However, equally you found, it cannot transport a photo to a Facebook page that is not your own.

The work-effectually is to EXPORT the photo you demand from Apple Photos to a file folder similar "Desktop". This creates a split file for the moving picture, and Facebook can meet that file. Using Facebook, y'all can then import that file.

Apple Photos will simply help you send a photo to your ain Facebook page, using the icon that looks like a box with an arrow pointing upwardly.

Withal, as you found, it cannot transport a photo to a Facebook page that is not your ain.

The piece of work-around is to EXPORT the photo yous demand from Apple Photos to a file folder like "Desktop". This creates a split up file for the picture, and Facebook can see that file. Using Facebook, you can and so import that file.

They complicate everything.... it gets worse using mac photos app

Yep that's exactly what I did too, for Chrome. On Safari everything works only fine. I use an iMac btw. Doubt it matters.
