If I select icloud photo library to share photos from my mac to icloud what images does this include? Does it only include images in Photos? I use other photo editing software and I do not want these photos uploaded....

Options missing in iCloud for Windows : photo library, photo stream, download photos, etc. Hello there. I was wondering why my photos from iCloud would not download to my pc, and then I discovered that I have only two options in iCloud for Windows, Photos: "iCloud Photos" and "Shared Albums". Where have the other options gone? It should be like this: Thank you.
