How to upload video's into iCloud?

Hi, I have some older videos taken with a handheld camera. They are stored on an external hdd as mp3. When dragging&dropping them into the photo app it keeps referring to the original file (and hence when deleting that file, it is also deleted from all the machines). And I can't upload them using iCloud.com. How should I tackle this? Thanks

two things to check:

  1. Is the video compatible with the Photos app? About iCloud Photos and My Photo Stream - Apple Support
  2. Turn off referenced photos so all images are copied into the library. Change where your files are stored in Photos on Mac - Apple Support
