    Its only using the storage once :)

    The Photos tab and Albums tabs are just web pages created from your files.

OK thanks.  So my last question,(probably not), is this.  I see the photos are in the camera upload file folder, under the files tab.  The same photos are then in the photos folder.  If I then add one of those same photos to an album, is that one photo using three times the storage space? (camera upload, photos, then specific album) Do I need to delete all the photos in the camera upload file folder or does deleting them there also delete them from the photo folder.
