See Photo Library on Mac that is not logged into my iCloud account

Can someone help me figure out why this is happening.....


I go to a Mac in our company and I can see my personal Photo Library.

I believe I had used my personal account on this work computer, but when

viewing photos and not logged into iCloud, the my Photo Library shows up.


Any ideas???

While logged into your iCloud ID account and with the Photos library set to iCloud the photos in your iCloud library were downloaded into your local Photos library on the work computer. Sign out of your iCloud account and then delete the Photos library that resides in the Pictures folder. Don't sign into your iCloud account again from that computer.


If you have to sign in to your iCloud account for work purposes do not have a Photos library. No library, no syncing.
