Simplest way to migrate from Synology Photo Station?

I am on Debian server, running Immich in Docker. I have my Synology Photo Station photos saved into folders, with each folder representing an album. All the folders are now copied to the machine where Immich is running. What is the best way to import the files into Immich, so that it creates a separate album from each folder? I've tried the External Library feature but this does not seem to be creating the albums automatically? Thanks!

P.S. I guess the Photo Station variable is irrelevant here and the question can be parsed down to: how to import photos while creating albums based on the folder names the individual photos are stored in.
