I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

The bug

I’m using the Immich Android app.

I enabled album backup to the Immich server and activated album sync.

On the Immich server, I’m using the following storage template: {{#if album}}{{{album}}}{{else}}no_album_{{yy}}{{/if}}/{{filename}}

After the upload completes, the Immich server evaluates the album variable as empty, so the files are uploaded to the no_album_yy folder instead of the album folder. To fix this, I have to run a storage model migration to move the images to the correct folders.

I think that in the asset upload API, an explicit parameter to define the album could be added to force uploads into a specific album. This would also be useful for manual uploads when we want to force files into a specific folder or album.
