Please i want to call a HTTPService to populate markers from external .xml file  instead of populating it directly in the main.mxml. Thank you!

You can create folders on iCloud Drive, like you create folders in Finder on your hard drive.
Just open iCloud Drive in Finder and enter ⌘N to create a new folder. Then drag your photos to that folder and rename the folder.
Only the special folders created by the standard apps do not allow to create deeply nested folders inside  these folders.
The unfortunate thing is that i have an Macbook Air, and not enough memory to put all the folders back in iPhoto to have them uploaded to iCloud.
If you want to move the photos to iCloud Drive to save space on your MacBook Air, that will not work.  For any file you store on iCloud Drive there will be a shadow copy on your Mac, so you cannot save space on your MacBook Air this way. You need as much spce on your MAcBook Air as you are using in iCloud.  Maybe this will change in future MacOS X versions, but right now you will have all iCloud files stored locally as well.
