Some of my albums do not show up when trying to add pictures to Airbnb, when I look in google photos on this device tab they don't show there either.

I went to one drive and, you have to dig to find any sort of order in one drive, but found the album there. 
But from Airbnb I can't use any other way to get pics other than gallery. I need photos that are in an album so I don't have to go back years in all the pictures. This is frustrating!
I've tried permissions, checking album is backed up etc...
Please helpšŸ™

While corrupted data is plausible, I don't think it's truly the cause here. I really think it's all lazy coding honestly. I've experienced a similar issue with Google Photos and Google Drive when they separated the two and stopped supporting one of the 2 apps. Which, BTW keep an eye out cause Google basically made all brand new apps instead of updating the old apps to the new security standards the industry as a whole agreed needs to be in place for today's newer threats. So this leaves me to the only other option, as INefficient as it may be for the sake of your efficiency later on with this matter until a better solution can be found, nuke one of your clouds you back photos in, as in delete everything in it. Save it all to one or the other. When taking new photos, save them to the emptied cloud service that way you have zero searching to do. Once those are uploaded, back them up in the other cloud service and, again, empty the one cloud to nothing in it. Whichever device you are uploading to aB&B's site with, uninstall the cloud with all of the old backup files to limit the site's option of choices to give you to upload from and will hopefully be forced to give you the cloud/album with the needed pictures. Uninstalling a cloud based service will not delete any of your photos, just your ability to access them from that device. You will most likely have to install the cloud service back onto the device to back them up and then uninstall that app once you have them backed up to the cloud as to prevent it being selected as an upload option from their site. Yes, this is extreme and is giving me a headache just by suggesting it but I honestly am not seeing much of a better option for you going forward. Even if they agree to fix the site or app or whoever coding it may be, it could still be days or weeks before a viable patch is released for you to do so... At least this way, you will only have to do one crazy search through thousands of photos rather than every single time you go to upload. If I see or find a better option than all of that migraine madness I suggested, I will definitely let you know!

Its not going to hurt anything to clear the data and is much less complicated than the contortions you are suggesting they do.
