Is there a method to recreate folders and subfolders with their included files from a local drive to Synology Photos
 
If I understand you question well, this is not possible AFAIK. The indexing is not going to work on remote disks.
I am not aware of any system that works that way.
Why not just put the files on the NAS, the way it is intended?

Thank you for your response.
You mean let the metadata do the work in Synology Photos
 
Maybe I do not understand your question well enough:
you can copy all your photo‘s, in a folder structure (like by year) onto your nas in eg the shared folder /Photo
then add this photo shared folder into the shared space of synology photo’s

you cannot add a local drive to shared space.
