We'd like to use Chevereto as the album of the big family: multiple users would log in with their accounts, but we contribute to the same album-hierarchy. Is there a way to make all of the albums shared, not per-user albums? We'd like to make shared albums by default and disable albums belonging to a single user. Ideally, there would be a single shared album-hierarchy.

I see that this post is a few months old, but I have a work-a-round.
1) Create a master account with manager privileges.
2) Turn on guest uploads & Moderation
The Master Account creates all the Albums and assigns moderated images to those Albums.
Additional users with manager privileges can sort and identify images, but they should not create albums of their own or upload to their accounts. That defeats the purpose. They can see all the albums and move images around to correct sort errors.
Albums created from a selected group of images stay in the original account.
Note: Images cannot be moved between accounts. That is why you want all the albums in the same “master account”
Public? Guests can view all the albums.
Private? Guests can view only specific albums with a link.
I turn off Guest Uploads after a season and open it briefly on request to prevent unwanted uploads.
Example

Only Camp Horizon albums are public.

Update: Currently the guest uploader can create an album for their images. If they do that, you cannot move the images. Actually, nobody has ownership. This may be fixed in 4.2.
However, if they do not create an album, a manager can claim the images in their account and move them into existing albums. For now, this is how you can keep uploads from multiple users in the same albums.
Suggesting shared ownership option.
