Automatically upload photos to a particular Google Photos album

I'm trying to automatically upload JPG photo files from a particular directory on my computer to a particular album on Google Photos. I'd like the photos to periodically get pushed up to Google Photos (every day or so is frequent enough). Google Photos Backup almost does what I want, but it just uploads the files -- it doesn't put them into a particular [pre-existing] album on Google Photos. It's possible that I can somehow use Google Drive and a simple cron job for this, although I don't know how. I am also considering using the Picassa Web Albums API, but that feels overkill and I'd like to avoid that work unless it's necessary. Are there any straightforward solutions to this?

I am working on a hobby project and python code is available here --> https://github.com/eyedia/GAutoAlbumizer

Take a look at the documentation https://autoalbumizer.eyediatech.com/, I am still working on it.

Use IFTTT for this. Google Photos channel perfectly fits for this purpose. https://ifttt.com/applets/DMgPS2uZ-back-up-new-android-photos-you-take-to-google-photos

As you said that Google Photo Backup do the (upload) job, in my opinion the best way then is to use directly a Google Apps Script stored inside your Google Drive (running periodicaly) in order to push each new detected pictures inside a particular album.

If you need relative documentation, you may take a look at the album class documentation and also https://developers.google.com/apps-script/

If you need to use an other language to do the job (python, js, etc...) please specify which one and give us also more precision. (mac / windows / linux)
