1. Import photos and videos to a shared folder on the NAS. There are three ways to upload photos
and videos to the NAS: 1) Install Qfinder on your PC or Mac, set up a network drive and upload
files to your preferred shared folders. For details on setting up a network drive, check the
Connecting to NAS Shared Folders chapter; 2) Click "Shared Photos" or "Private Collection" in the
left panel in Manage mode and click "Import" on the main menu to import photos or videos from
the local PC. A new shared folder named with the date that files are uploaded will be created on
the NAS to store your uploaded files (for "Shared Photos", this newly-created shared folder is
located under the "Multimedia" folder; for "Private Collection", this shared folder is located under
the "/home" folder.) A corresponding album will be created under "Album" as well; and 3) Switch
to the folder view browsing mode and drag & drop photos and videos to a preferred folder. Note
that when using the first and third approach, you can choose the NAS folder to upload photos and
videos into.
