How upload pictures:

DEMO INSTRUCTION MANUAL

1. The first step to upload photos to the web page is to click on the upload section

2. Then we'll just drag the photos you want, or select the directory where they are

3. When you have selected the images you want, you must use the "load"

4. Then a window will ask you about the privacy of the photos

…and done!

How to create gallery:

To create a gallery, you must select the photos you want to contain the gallery. When you are located in the that menu, select "add album“. Then, put the name and description to your future album. To finish you just have to upload photos.
