There is a great article that can explain about using iCloud Photos. iCloud Photo Library is a great way to keep all of your photos accessible on all your devices. Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. Then one other question - if I take a picture on my iPhone with iCloud library turned on, will that photo appear in the Root library of my iMac like it does using Photo Stream? And Do I keep Photo Stream turned on everywhere like I have it setup now, or does iCloud Library take the place of Photo Stream? All a bit confusing! If I turn on the iCloud library, will it preserve my album structure on my iMac? I love the idea of it actually mirroring my album structure across to my MacBook Air for instance - that would be awesome, and I get how iCloud stores originals but I can also keep originals on my iMac, my mainframe as well. I have hundreds of Albums as mentioned, and cannot afford two have iCloud Photos library corrupt this cataloguing that I've spend so much time on. However, when reading the official Apple Support page, there's not really a ny clear mention of how the library handles Albums.

I've recently purchased the Apple One Premiere plan which gets me 2TB of iCloud space, so I'm tempted to use the iCloud photo library. I have an extensive 400g Photos library with extensive cataloguing using albums to organize everything across literally 150 years of archival photographs. Will iCloud Photos synch albums from my iMac across all devices? AND Photo Stream? Hi Mac Gurus,
