Yes, it is not difficult or tricky to do. It's just not how the app was designed. When viewing content in the cloud, the view is to treat the content as all photos/videos/songs/other documents displaying the regardless of source or folder hierarchy based on date taken or backed up I believe the cloud team has it on their roadmap to retain photo album information you have created on the phone so you can view them in albums but right now, album support is limited to albums you created in the cloud.
If you are trying to backup content from a computer, the PC/Mac desktop app will also backup information from the computer and retain the folder hierarchy when it does a backup/restore but again, since the cloud viewer is built along the framework of photos/videos/songs/other documents, when you try to view your cloud content, even though it knows about the PC folder hierarchy, it will display them individually and not based on that folder structure.
The current operation of Verizon Cloud is fantastic for a majority of users. Easy to keep media, documents, calls, and texts backed up.
Great, but it would also be awesome if subscribers could use a "Google Drive style" app to manage and navigate cloud storage. Many subscribers prefer to maintain, organize, and otherwise manage their local storage (file system). This is irrespective of whether a device has been rooted with a custom rom (or jailbroken), we take the onus to balance internal and sdcard storage. Similarly, we make sure all files and folders stay backed up to cloud storage to simplify device disaster recovery.
I need to allude once more to Google Drive (or Dropbox or... or...), as most cloud synchronization apps integrate easily with it. These services behave more like an sd card and less like a gallery organized by media type. Verizon started to step up to the plate when Google Photos sunset their unlimited photo storage model, it would delight many subscribers to find they could configure their favorite cloud sync & backup app to mirror local folders without concern for file extention or meta content. Adding this functionality to Private Folder would be a great start.
Power users rely on Verizon, as it is the most dependable network with unmatched coverage. As such, we need Verizon to invest in their cloud storage model just a bit more.
