Comment:

 Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 > There are some cases where old images in folder 2018/11 for example are
 lost. When I try to restore them through FTP I can't get them in the
 library.

 You can use the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-from-server/ Add From
 Server] plugin to import files uploaded via FTP into your media library.

 This seems like plugin territory to me, though I'd like to know others'
 thoughts too.

 > When I upload them through WordPress they will uploaded in the current
 2020/11 folder instead of the old folder where all the links are going to.

 If you create a post with the date of 2018/11 and upload the images from
 that post, they should go to the 2018/11 directory. See [41964] / #10752
 and #46554 for more details.
