 * When creating a gallery, there is a button ‘Add Files’ which opens directories
   on my computer.
    But the images are already uploaded on the server. How to reach
   my images for using in the gallery?

 * Hi [@mrblond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrblond/),
 * Great question and thanks for asking us. There is such a possibility to import
   images from a folder that’s located in “wp-content” by going to “Gallery -> Add
   Gallery/Images -> Import Folder”
 * Hope this helps

 * Thanks for the quick response.
 * Well, there is not an option “Import Folder”.
    There is only one button “Add 
   Files”.

 * We are limiting some of NextGen’s features for the WP Multisites so you may not
   be able to be able to use this import option in case that you are have a WP Multisite
   installation.
