How can I tell how long Photos in Big Sur will be syncing? I upgraded to Big Sur several weeks ago, and since realized that my Photos library was not set to sync with iCloud.
I've toggled it back on, but the library is a little over a month behind.
Unlike earlier versions of Photos there's no indication of where it is in the syncing process. Earlier versions had a progress bar in Preferences, and would show current progress at the bottom of the library.
My Library just says &quot;Updating&quot; - it's been 16+ hours now. I realize it's a pretty big library (~30K items), but some idea of how long it'll be would be nice.
Any way to see progress?
There is no progress bar since it isn't sure how long it will take. A progress bar will appear at times, depending on what it's doing, it hasn't been completely removed.
Unfortunately there is likely nothing you can do but wait.
