You'd have to continue uploading them manually. If you switch to the automatic Camera Uploads feature, it won't recognize your albums and all photos and videos would be uploaded to the Camera Uploads folder.

 

The Photos page you see on the Dropbox website displays ALL of the images from every folder in your account.
