Hey guys,

I have a bunch of photos - organised by folders on my external hard drive - that I would like to import into my Lightroom CC cloud storage.

I would like the photos to be imported into Lightroom CC cloud storage as albums that mimic the name and contents of the folders from the hard-drive, but I don't seem to be able to work out how to do this. Currently I am having to manually add the separate groups of photos into new albums in the cloud storage, which will take many hours of work when importing years and years worth of photos.

Am I missing something here? Is there a way to import, and then for Lightroom CC to automatically add the photos to albums based on the folder names within which they were stored on my external drive? Hope this makes sense!

Please help me :)
 
If they weren't already in year folders in the Collections panel in Classic, then yes.
