I have 65GB of photos in abt 120 albums stored on both OneDrive and USB - I would like to transfer them to iPad internal photo storage maintaining the album structure - Is there a simple way of achieving this without using iCloud account ( I don’t want to pay for another cloud storage - in fact I will cancel my OneDrive storage plan after I copy the photos ) appreciate any help
iPad mini, iOS 13
Hello,
This is not possible. As a work around you can create a new album in the Photos application > Drag and drop a specific album’s contents onto this album and those photos will be added to the album while also being imported to the Photos application.

Hello,
Open Photos and Files in Split View. In Files navigate to your USB drive. In Photos create a new album. In Files > Select all of your desired photos for the new album you just created > Drag and Drop them from Files to Photos.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!

thanks so much for your help - it works well - if I wanted to copy the photos to 2 ipads is it possible to transfer from usb to icloud then copy from icloud to the 2 ipads instead of duplicating the process of creating all of the albums twice - appreciate your thoughts, best
regards Jeff
Hello,
You can use iCloud Photo Library. This will upload your entire Photos library to iCloud and will be synchronized on all other devices signed in with your Apple ID.
