Which version of Photos are you using?


Te easiest way to move albums into folders is to view the albums in Albums view. Then you can select several albums at once by dragging the cursor across the albums you want to select and drag them together to a folder in the sidebar. In Photos 4.0 and 5.0 the sidebar is always visible. In Earlier versions of Photos you may need to reveal the sidebar with ⌥⌘S. In Photos 5.0 on Catalina the Albums View is missing. Then you can only drag one album at a time into a folder.
