# External Library
|
|
|
|
### Can I add an external library while keeping the existing albums structure?
|
|
|
|
We haven't put in an official mechanism to create albums from external libraries at the moment., but there are some [workarounds from the community](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/4279) which you can find here to help you achieve that.

|
|
### I got duplicate files in the upload library and the external library
|
|
|
|
It is important to remember that Immich does not filter duplicate files from [external Library](/docs/features/libraries) at the moment.
|
|
|
|
Upload library and external library use different mechanisms to detect duplicates:
|
|
|
|
- Upload library: hashes the file
|
|
- External library: uses the file path
|
|
|
|
Therefore, a situation where the same file appears twice in the timeline is possible. |
