So I copied all the pictures I want in gallery to a directory on the gallery2 server (/storage/pictures)

I added /storage/pictures to the allowed list of local directories to accept pictures from.

Inside storage/pictures I have folders and sub folders.

Is there any way to add everything in there - but have it create albums inside albums as needed to match the directory structure of /storage/pictures?

For example I have:

/storage/pictures/2005/jan/01
/storage/pictures/2005/jan/02
/storage/pictures/2005/jan/03

etc
etc

so if I import /storage/pictures/2005 to an already created "2005" album, it will then create the albums inside it - i.e months, and dates , as needed.

Zip them, and add the zipped file. To be honest, I wouldn't do 50Gb at a time, but it works in principle.

You can do it any way you like, it's your gallery! You can always move the albums around, after creating them, if they're not in the right place.
