The Media Browser does not show the albums in macOS Tahoe. Have you tried to use the search field of find the photos you want? You can search for text, like keywords or titles or descriptions.


It is easier to use the Sharing options starting from the Photos.app, where we can access the albums and select the photos for sharing.

Then you can do two things:

  • If there is a sharing extension, to share to the place you want, use the sharing extension.
  • Or simply export the photos you want from photos in the best size for sharing to a folder on the Desktop, then share them from this folder.
