Hello,

I haven't done my photo back up for 6 - 8 months now and while at it the other day I have noticed that I can't just copy/paste or drag/drop folders with my pictures to Photos app and have them appearing there as albums named like pasted folders (hope it makes sense). I was able to do it before with iPhoto, it was easy and effortless. Am I missing something or doing it wrong? or Apple has made it impossible now with new Photos app? Why would they do it though?

I have around 25 folders with photos to be added to Photos library as albums and while it's doable manually by creating new albums one by one, naming them and copying pictures separately - it's just pain in the bottom. Please help.
