Why not folders within albums?

Is it possible to make a folder within a single album to further organize many photos. For example, i might have a folder of my mother's photos in Memories. If i could organize them into folders such as "Family Vacations," "With siblings," ... "later in life" or some such folders, it would be easier than searching a gallery of 250 photos. Just a thought.

    I think having the ability to organize all kinds of Memories for a person in folders. I think a folder should be able to include different types of media: photos, stories, documents, and audio. Folders could be used to organize different times in a person's life or areas of service. With no way to organize different media types in Memories it is like throwing papers in file drawer and hoping to find the information later on. When documents are organized in folders in a file cabinet drawer it becomes easy to find and use the information in the drawer.

    The memories gallery and albums already have a feature to show or hide different “types” of memories.

    I know I can create and organize folders in My Memories Gallery. It would be nice to be able to organize the memories about a person in the Memories about them. Lots of memories about a person with no way to organize them is like throwing papers in a file drawer and hoping to find them. It would be helpful for anyone coming new to the person's Memory page to see the media organized in a logical way.

    Related stories, photos, documents, and audio need to be able to be linked to better see the relationships between each of them.
