Hello all,

I have an album with 10,000 images in my Photo library. It is all design inspiration that I have been gathering for years. I add to it all the time and the ability to always have the updated version on my phone has been great. I used to be able to sync a photo album to my iPhone through iTunes, but it doesn't appear that I can do that anymore? I can pick to sync with a specific folder on my computer, but I can't pick anything that is within the iphoto library. Am I missing something incredibly obvious?

Computer is on Mojave, iphone is on ios13. Thanks for any pointers!
 
It's the same as it was with iTunes, no? Just change the "Sync with folder" to "Sync with Photos". Check this guide, on Sync Photos tab there's an option at the top to sync from Photos or a folder.
 
I thought it would be.. but for me, it's not. When I select "Sync Photos", I'm not presented with the option to sync from Photos at all... the only thing I get access to is the "pictures" folder:

Can you point to Photos app with "Choose folder"? Also, no issues with opening/browsing Photos app, right?

I can point to the folder holding my Phot library, but not the app.. so I can't pick an album or anything. No issues opening the Photos app at all. It's really weird.
