Selecting the '+' to Add Photos, brings up a dialog box prompting me to `Add files or folders'...

It will import Photos en masse (under the review stage) but will not import a Folder directly.
It imports Photos into a mass storage system where you organise into Albums and Album Folders. You can also determine a destination Album on import.

Does anyone how that mass storage system is organised/indexed? Is a proper database using a completely new reference for the indexing or should I not worry?
