Classic to CC - what about my specific folder structure?

I am thinking of switching from Lightroom Classic to CC. I have my photos organised by country/city/date. If I import my photos to CC, is my nice folder structure gone? I have a feeling the answer is yes, but want to confirm.

Thanks

Yes it will be gone. What some people do is to drag the folders to the collections area in Classic to create a new collection structure that mimics your folder structure before doing the migration. This is a manual process and takes some time but it will create new Albums in CC that mirror your old folder structure.

Thanks for the info. I have been creating my collection structure to mirror my file structure as I have been adding my photos to Classic.

I will try the import and see how it goes.
