How can I achieve this? Usually when merging folder structure's the computer ask if it should skip existing files and then it just adds the other ones. This is what I want.
That would only be possible if you did it on the computer. Website upload has no way of checking files and so would upload everything I'm afraid.

Alright, that means i have to use a computer with tons of storage...
Do you think there is no other way? Problem is I have folders with thousands of images in it and I can hardly upload them after one another without getting lost where I left, while waiting for the upload.

Unfortunately if you do via website, no, there isnt a way to do this 😞
The only thing I can think is to do in small batches - wait for them to upload and mark them as online only to recover the space.
