 * Hi,
 * So I have the multisite installed on our server. I have six blogs installed within.
   When I exported the xml for the blogs I got this error that most of the uploaded
   files were not imported. When I go to my blogs.dir folder all I see are numbers
   and year and other subfolders. I want to manually add the uploaded files from
   my old blogs to the multisite blogs but I can’t figure out where I should place
   them. I don’t know which folder # corresponds to which blog.
 * Can I just manually create an upload folder for each blog and place all my uploaded
   files there? I have a lot of images that aren’t showing up on my blogs because
   they are not on the uploaded files folder.

 * No. Don’t do that.
 * Copy or move the files to `wp-content/blogs.dir/#/files`
 * Now, how do you know WHICH # to use? Go to Network Admin -> sites. Hover your
   mouse just below the path to your main blog and look at the URL you get. Should
   have a NUMBER in it. That’s your blog number 🙂 Don’t see it? That’s okay. Click
   on EDIT and look for **Upload Path**.
 * That’ll have `wp-content/blogs.dir/#/files` 🙂
