Summary:
When sharing photos in Photos.app to Shared iCloud Family album there is no feedback abou state of upload after user does share action.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Photos.app
2. Go to Photos
3. Select some photos || videos
4. Click Share -> iCloud Photo Sharing -> Family

Expected Results:
User can see some feedback. Progress of upload. Grayed out preview of uploaded items in Shared iCloud Family album. Something. 

Actual Results:
User does NOT have any feedback after sharing items (this is problem on xDSL line with slow upload). This creates confusion. Is Photos.app doing anything or not?

Classic reaction: user tries to share photos again. Result -> Photos are shared twice in Family album. 

Bad UI.

Version:
OS X 10.11.4
