Iclod drive and iclod photos

We have old photos that we scanned and saved to our macbook pro. We created folders on the desktop for different years. I see the photos on my iphone under files/icloud drive. Is there a way to add them the other photos saved on icloud..com or are they only viewable from the drive? Or is there a way to add them to where i can see them from the photos app on my iphone ? We have a 2TB storage plan set up with family sharing.

Your photos are currently on your desktop and are accessible in the files app on any connected device presuming that you have desktop and documents enabled. You can add all of your photos to the photos app if you so choose simply by dragging the folders into Photos on your Mac.
