Google Photos still seems super geared towards a consumer / pure phone photo backup experience and purpose. I wish they would expand it further to accommodate heavier use / amateur needs, better mass upload and mass management, folder management etc. It's definitely not a file folder sync design like Drive or Dropbox.

If you just want to upload pure files without all the photo AI etc, then Drive folders should work fine for your needs. It'll largely be a backup / cloud storage destination.
