Force Mac to backup photos to iCloud I have recently enabled my Mac to backup photos from Photos.app to iCloud.

When I go to iCloud > Manage > Photos it says that there is 25MB of data in iCloud, however when I go to ~/Pictures and I right click on Photos Library and select Get Info it says that there is 1.1GB of data. I know this is true when I put them into another folder.

How do I force my Mac to upload my photos to iCloud?

This is not a duplicate of iCloud Photo Library - force upload since I have less then 250 photos so I am not exceeding the maximum limit.
I know this seems a bit stupid. I think it was because I was a bit impatient. My upload speed is 0.71Mb/s (that means it will take 3 hours 43 minutes to upload!). It has only uploaded 170MB/1.1GB. I have however had my computer asleep for a few hours though.

Even though I have posted this I would still like to know how to force upload incase I need to in the future.
