Work Arounds for not seeing Photo albums

When using Finder or accessing Photos on Safari you cannot see the Photo Albums you create in Photos. At least a workaround for Snapfish is to use the app on your iPhone. Ridiculous the wasted time finding a workaround for all the work creating an album in Photos and then finding out you cannot upload via the Mac.

Photo albums not showing when uploading to safari When I go to upload photos to a website (Etsy for example) I only get the option of "photos" and not the individual albums. I have Sonoma 14.1.1. The only workaround I have seen suggested is to copy the album onto the desktop and access it from there, but we are talking 1000's of photos and they are only visible as tiny thumbnails, I need full screen definition to be able to choose correctly. Is there a solution, will this be fixed?

Photos app lacks album selection for social media uploads on Mac While uploading photos on fb or any social media platform we see photos option but we don't see the albums there, it comes with a mix of all photos videos together and exactly here it is being non user-friendly PC, so please Apple solve this problem by putting the whole album from photos as option.

How to sort photos down to albums when uploading any photo to web pages in safari. I am running Sonoma 14.5... how do I upload a photo from one of my ALBUMS in safari. i.e. to Facebook or Instagram etc. Once selecting upload image on the web page it takes me to a "Finder" window, I then select Photos under the media tab on the bottom of the left menu. From there it populates my entire media library of 10,000 plus photos with no ability to sort down to an album. What am I missing? I spoke to Apple support and they had no solution. One idea they had was to drag and drop, I wish I would have done that on the call. After I got off phone I attempted drag and drop, and surprise you can't drag photos out of the Photos app on MacBook, you can only export... Maybe I am still missing something. Any help is greatly appreciated.

OBTW The Facebook app on the iPhone allows you to see the Photos albums also. This is ridiculous that the Mac does not allow you to see Photos albums in Finder or Safari only in the Photo app itself.
