Use this user created AppleScript to export your albums to folders that will have the same name as the album: Export Albums to Folders - Jacques Rioux's Script.


The script compiled as an application can be downloaded from this tutorial site:  P01 - Applescripts from Photos’ User Tips Compiled as Applications. The download will have two apps, one that arranges the albums in alphabetical order to make finding a particular album easier and one that doesn't.
