Feature detail

Let's say I have the following folders containing pictures:
DCIM/x
DCIM/y
DCIM/z

Right now they all show up individually when selecting albums to backup. Album x, album y, and album z.

It would be useful if I just could select the folder DCIM, and it would upload all images in all sub-folders. Instead of having to individually select album x, album y and album z.
example

At the same time, when someone has a lot of individual folders with a few images, this would make the list of albums to select from huge. It would be nice if you could select a folder and exclude it from showing up in that album picker list.
To further improve the album picker it could be a grid view instead of a slider/list view. Because if you have many albums and you need to select the last one you need to scroll a bit before you reach it. It's not a deal breaker, but again, would be nice.

I've updated the example and hopefully it makes (more) sense now?
