cannot add local assets to album yet
I am trying to create a new album by selecting a picture. But I get the error mentioned in the subject. What is the correct way of uploading stuff from phone to the server using the app?

this is not supported, assets have to be uploaded before you can add to the album
How to upload them from the phone then?
by initiating the backup process
But that selects the album . If I can’t add pics to album what’s the point backing it up
I am now unsure what are you trying to do
can you maybe take a screenshot and explain?
I am trying to upload pics on phone to Immich
So I want to create a new album and then add pics to it from my device and then back up the album
and the new album here is on your local device, correct?
Ok so I create album in photos app and then back it up
Correct
the album selection is only from your local device, not from Immich
Cool understood
Thanks again
No problem
Will the steps I was following earlier be supported in the future ?
It’s similar to what’s possible from the browser
I don't see that being supported anytime soon
Just another question, is there plan to support storage quotas for users ?
There is feature request put in for that one already
Ok
Last one, I saw the files are uploaded but the album is not created on the server. Is that how it’s supposed to be?
yes
Any plans to also create the album on the server ?
there is also a feature request to create and upload asset to the album
Ok
There are a lot of requests as you see 😄
Yeah because it’s an awesome app and you have a great job
but we are prioritizing on big features at the moment, those improvement might be added after the stable release
Kudos
