Why can't I drag new photos into my existing iPhoto albums on the new Photos app? Is it still possible to do so?

In Photos for Mac you can drag photos from a folder on your desktop or similarinto existing albums. But the albums have to be regular albums and created by you,. You cannot drag into a Smart album. And you cannot drag into a folder.

If you want to import photos by dragging to albums, show the sidebar (View > Show Sidebar ⌥⌘S). In the sidebar you tell by the icons the type of an album, if it is a regular album or a smart album.
