Q: Do albums and folders sync in Photos.app
How can I get my albums and folders I created in the Photos.app on my Macbook Pro to sync onto my iMac and iPhone? I have iCloud Photo Library switched on on all these devices. I've made changes that have not updated elsewhere. What am I supposed to do?
Thanks, Nadia
MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Nadia,
if you are using iCloud Photo Library on all devices, the albums and folders are supposed to sync with iCloud Photo Library across your devices.
See: Use Photos and iCloud Photo Library on multiple Mac computers - Apple Support
Which changes did not sync across?
Smart albums will not sync to your iPhone, only standard albums.
And faces albums and thumbnails will not sync at all, only searchable keywords.
One possible reason for the changes not syncing might be, that the upload of your Photos Library to iCloud has not yet been completed. Are you still seeing a progress bar, when you are looking at the Photos > Preferences > iCloud on your iMac or MacBook Pro?
