Facebook is, first and foremost, a place for sharing. Sharing your thoughts, your feelings, your life events, and your photos. It's there to help you document your life, for you and everyone around you. It's a digital scrapbook.

It's easy enough to add photos to Facebook through a post, but if you want to keep them more organized — especially if you have a lot of photos - the best way to do that is to make an album.

Albums are exactly what they sound like — they're the folders in your computer's file explorer, there to help you keep track of which pictures are from. You can make an album for all the photos from a family vacation, or from a semester of school, or for someone's birthday party — the possibilities are endless. You can add photos to that album all at once, or add a few and go back and add more later as you take them.

You can add an Facebook album no matter where you are. Here's how to do it.
