folder. I'd like to keep that folder structure, and ideally it might be nice to have each folder become albums within Immich.

(Others that I upload directly from the web UI can live elsewhere, I don't care about that, I just want to keep this existing organization structure without saving duplicate copies of all the files— 4.5 TB in total.) Is there a way to do this?
