Does iCloud Photos support a Windows Explorer “Folder” structure

I have several thousand photos on my Windows laptop that I’ve organized over the years into individual Windows Explorer folders. For example, all Christmas photos are located in a separate folder named Christmas. Under that I have sub folders for each year. I’d like to now move all these photos...along with the folder structures...into iCloud via iCloud for Windows.

Is there any way to maintain this folder structure on the iCloud side? I really don’t want to have to create Albums on the iCloud side...and then go through the process of manually moving photos into them. Thanks!

Thanks Phil...I had a feeling I would have to re-create the same structure in iCloud Photos via Albums. Your suggestion to move the photos to Drive to maintain the folder structure is a good one. I’d like to just keep “photos” in Photos...and “files” in Drive...so maybe I’ll just spend the time to build out the same structure using Albums. Thanks again.
