Hi TangR, I've looked at my Google Album Archive (great feature! I did not know about it) and here's what I can see:
All the pictures I've uploaded to Google Maps either via my iPhone, previous Android device or via a web browser are in 'Photos from posts - Photos & videos shared on Google+' [auto-generated album by Google, different from manually created albums].
Inside this album, each picture is indeed an album with the date of upload.
If i understand you correctly, you would like pictures grouped by, say, the places they have been uploaded to, right?
The same way you have one sub-album per Hangout conversion in 'Photos from Hangouts', right?
I don't think this is possible.
It would require to change the whole structure since, as of today, one image uploaded = 1 post = 1 "album" with the upload date as a "name".
And not every post on Google+ refers to a specific place (since this album merges Pictures uploaded to Google+ and Google Maps, I think).
What I don't really understand is why you would want to use the album "Photos from posts" to contribute a picture to a place.
(I'm guessing) most people upload directly from their iOS/Android app or the website.
And even when using "add a photo" on the search result page of google.com, you can still used your pictures as long as they're already backup in Google Photos (see 3 below, it's in French but you get the idea).
And if you want to upload from the 'Photos from posts' then it means you want to contribute a picture that has actually already been posted to Google+ or Google Maps.
=> is that what you want to do?
I have to admit I'm a little bit confused on what you're trying to achieve here.
Let us know!

Hi JessyY,
Thank you for your reply.
The reason I want to use "Add a photo" in the web page is that not all my photos are shot by iOS/Android phone. And iOS/Android app also still can not batch uploading photos.
The "Photos from phone" tab of the uploading dialog in the web page is not very useful. It is not organized by albums, which makes very hard to find photos for me.
What I am asking Google is, I want to batch uploading all photos in one album at one time. Google should give the user back the ability to organize albums instead of applying some foolish settings such as the "one photo per album" to users, and users even can not find a way to change it, which is a bigger mistake.
Best regards.
