Q: Where are my NUMEROUS Albums in iCloud for Windows?
My wife's iPad 3 & iPhone 6 Plus are both on the wife's same Apple ID & Password.
So, 1st, I deleted the 200 or so Photos & Videos on the 6 Plus - because they are all also on the iPad 3 with the over 1,300 other Photos & Videos.
She only kept a few Photos & Videos on the 6 Plus to show others - since she usually has only the 6 Plus with her when out of the House.
Then, I turned on iCloud Photo Library on only the iPad 3 & gave it a full day to download everything to iCloud.
Then, from my Desktop Computer, I determined that I could in fact access all 1,300+ Photos & Videos by going to iCloud.com & signing into my wife's account.
Then, I turned on iCloud Photo Library on the 6 Plus.
All 1,300+ Photos & Videos are now also on the 6 Plus.
Then, I downloaded / installed iCloud for Windows on my Desktop computer
It seems to have installed all of the Photos & Videos - rather quickly I must say.
But it has all of the Photos & Videos in only 6 folders (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, & 2016) & not in the numerous Albums as they appear on the wife's iPad 3, iPhone 6 Plus, & on iCloud.com
Did I do something wrong?
What is the point of the iCloud for Windows on the Desktop Computer if it does not download all of the numerous albums needed to keep the Photos & Videos organized?
I could have accomplished the exact same thing withOUT even bothering with iCloud for Windows on the Desktop Computer & JUST "imported" the Photos & Videos directly from the iPad 3 to the Desktop Computer
