[Feature]: Nested albums
Feature detail
How is the general opinion on nested albums?
As of now, there is one level on which albums reside and each album contains image(s) and/or video(s).
It would be great if an album could contain one or more albums.
An example use case: going on holidays with friends where everyone takes photos. They could all be collected in one album which contains an album for person that took photos.
The album structure could then look like:
--holidays-2022
-- Friend A // contains photos taken by this person
-- Friend B // ...

This is something I'd also like to see. My use case would be creating a main album for each side of my family that I could share to them and allow them to create sub-albums underneath it. By Inheriting permissions from the main album it would prevent having to share each and every album. In a quasi-related topic I'll also be opening a feature request for user groups for these types of situations to where i could just share to "Family 1" instead of each "Family 1" member individually. #1043

Do you know if Google Photos has this feature? I would like to experiment with the UI/UX

It's been so long since I've stopped using it that I had to go check, but no I cannot find a way to create nested albums within Google Photos.
After logging into it after so long and seeing it I want to thank you again for all the work you are putting into this project. The user experience so far is top notch and is definitely on par or better than Photos.
I don't know if it's helpful at all; iCloud photo's supports 'nested albums' they actually let you make 'folders' to put ur albums in to.
Lightroom has a similar model to what is described above for iCloud: folders (which can be nested), in which you can place albums. Albums can also be at the top level, and can't be nested under other albums.
I personally find this separation between folder and album a bit restrictive. When I'm visiting a city for example, I tend to have a main album (e.g. Sydney) to which I'll add random photos, and when I visit a specific landmark, I'll create a new nested album in there (e.g. Sydney/Harbour Bridge). With that artificial separation between folders and albums, I have to create a Sydney/Random or something like that as a catch-all for any non-specific photo.
