Move your iPhoto Library to a correctly formatted locally mounted volume, if necessary. If you are planning to use the library with iCloud Photo Library, the drive must be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). Photos may have problems accessing the drive, if it is on a network volume and not locally mounted.

Prepare the library: Ensure that your iPhoto Library has no issues before the migration.Make a Time Machine backup or a bootable clone.
