I am experiencing the same issue. When the directory "/Photos" does not exists, any upload to an album fails.

The console reads:

The image that should be sent is not uploaded:

And the response to the PUT request is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<d:error xmlns:d="DAV:" xmlns:s="http://sabredav.org/ns">
  <s:exception>Sabre\DAV\Exception\NotFound</s:exception>
  <s:message>File with name //Photos could not be located</s:message>
</d:error>

No error message is displayed in the web interface.
