Is there any way of changing the location where my pictures are uploaded from? Instead of Photos, can I change it to my Pictures Library?
 
Is there a way to set it in my preferences. Sorry, it's my first Mac.
 
What do you mean by Pictures Library? Your photos in a Finder folder outside of the Photos app?
 
Yes, where all of my albums are. Albums don't come up in Photos, I have to scroll through 5800 pictures in Photos.
 
I AM NOT SURE but let's have a try with it if it works
  1. Add a location​

    Important: To add a location on a photo or video, you must back it up first.
    1. On your iPhone or iPad, open Google Photos
      Photos
      .
    2. Open the photo or video.
    3. Tap More
      More
      and then
      Add a location

      .
      • Add or select a location from your recent locations.

    Edit or remove an estimated location from a photo​

    Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location.
    1. On your iPhone or iPad, open Google Photos
      Photos
