For photographers hosting 30+ albums, does it support album organization (nested folders, tags), or is it flat structure only?
@ashishdurgude - An album in DD Photos is all photos underneath a given folder. You can choose to just include photos directly in that folder, or you can set "recurse=true" in the albums.yaml file and it will include all photos in sub-dirs
The primary idea is that you organize photos somewhere else (I use Lightroom Classic). In there I can tag, rate, etc., but when I have a group of photos I want to publish, I export to a single folder and point DD Photos at it.
Frustration with sharing photos with friends and family led to the creation of this project. Instead of waiting 25+ seconds for an iCloud shared album to load, a DD Photos site loads in seconds.
