How can I see in the Mac Photos app the albums created in my iPhone/iPad that are stored in iCloud?

I have created several albums in my iPhone or iPad and they are synced and I can access them in iCloud.com but I can't see them in the Mac Photos app. The photos are synced but not the albums.


Is there a way to do it?

VIN, MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), macOS Sierra (10.12)

The iCloud Photo Library is enabled on the iPad & iPhone but if I enable it on my Mac it will upload all my photos and my library is quite big (~500GB).


I can see the photos I take with my mobile devices but not the albums I create.


If I enable it I will be able to see the albums? Is there a way to enable it without uploading my whole library?
