Alternatively, remove the camera memory card from your camera and insert it into the card reader of the computer and plug it into a card reader on your computer. Not both methods will help you to transfer images from your digital camera to the computer.

When you see all your digital photos on the computer, select the ones you really want to upload to your online photo album. Then create a folder and give a suitable name.
