iCloud Sync of 90,000+ photos and video stuck for days

Hi there,


I'm in the process of syncing all my photos/videos to iCloud. My Photos library is situated on an external SSD drive attached directly to my Mac Mini (ie not via a hub).


The blue bar has not moved for three days. Internet is fast and functional. Any suggestions as to how I can de-constipate things?
