Google announced today the new Google Photos: unlimited storage up to 16 MegaPixel!
I have an hard disk of ~10GB of photos, and I would like to copy them to Google Photos.
My main concern is that the photos I have are stored in folders like:
photo_summer_2008
christmas_2009
Is there a way to upload the pictures to Google and create an album for each folder, with the album name created from the folder name?
Best Answer
There is no way in 2017 to do this. Picasa no longer exists.
It surprises me that no 3rd party app has appeared to manage Google Photo upload with combined album creation, I assume Google does not provide a public API for this.
Many people have asked for way to convert desktop folders to Google Photos Albums, for some reason Google has chosen not to do this. It's obviously a deliberate decision.
