hmmm, I’m not sure I am correctly understanding your question. You say you have already uploaded all photos from iCloud to Google Photos – how did you do that? Did you

  1. install the Google Photos app on your iPhone and turn on Backup and Sync? Or
  2. did you use the Apple utility to transfer photos from iCloud to Google Photos?

Are you missing some photos? Photos from certain albums?

Or, do you have all your photos in Google photos, but not the album structure? If you used #2, it should have maintained your album structure from Apple over to Google. If you used #1, all your photos should be there, and you need to re-create the albums for those photos.

How many albums do you have in your Apple photos?

I did the back up and sync.      My albums were not there so I used the apple utility for photos and videos.   I have the photos but not the album structure.  Shared albums did not transfer.    Can u individually transfer each album from iCloud?

Darn .. I thought the Apple utility would give you the album structure.

There is no way I know of to upload an album from Apple iCloud to Google photos using a mobile device. If you have a Mac, you may be able to export albums to folders (in Finder) and then upload them to Google photos to create albums. I made a video on how to do it with windows – I expect it would work the same on Mac
