I tried dragging and dropping and no, it won’t work on Mac OS Sonoma.

What happens if I delete a shared album? Will this also deleted at the shared peoples devices?

When I add people I get a ? mark before their name and the invite never goes out. What's my problem?

Why can't I just drag and drop photos to the albums I create, on my mac, like ti do on my iphone? It's ridiculous that you have to click "ADD" in order to add these, and drag and drog is not available? Sharing photos from an external drive, by dragging and dropping would make much more sense.
