Is it possible to upload photos to Google Drive (not the /Google Photos folder) and still view them through Google Photos?I'm asking this because of the following: Usually I have two sources of photos, those taken with my smartphone, which get uploaded instantly to Google Photos, and photos from other cameras or friends' cameras, which I upload manually to Google Drive. I could upload the latter to Google Photos, but in that case they will be sorted into /Google Photos/YEAR/MONTH which is not very useful (I'd rather prefer my original structure, as these photos are occasion-related, e.g. /Other Photos/YEAR/Summer-Vacation-France). It is possible to upload them to  Google Drive in my desired folder structure, but then I won't be able to view them in Google Photos. In any case I want to use Google Photos as a web photo management software for ALL my photos, as it is very comfortable to have everything readily available when not having access to my computer (besides that, I sync Google Drive and thereby also Google Photos with my Mac, and use the local files for my desktop photo library).Any sugggestions are appreciated!
Can Google Photos access photos that have been saved in Google Drive?
google drive;google photos
Just found out what is the problem, might also be interesting for other people: Google Photos Settings has an option Google Drive that must be enabled first - otherwise your photos won't show up.I can confirm this works, all photos from Google Drive then show up in Google Photos, sorted by date.However, there are some issues when it comes to searching through these photos: June 2015 will only show photos from Google Photos, not Drive, but 2015 for some reason works for both. Then again, 2008 won't show me any photos from Google Drive that were taken 2008. Searching for file names like IMG_012345 will work, for both Google Photos and Drive. This is really confusing...The initial question has been answered, but I will update this answer if I find out what's wrong with Google Photos' search. If you know anything, let me know!
