 * My website is set to upload media files in another directory (/photos) and not
   in the default one (/wp-content/uploads); the Media Files Manager doesn’t show
   any files but is able to create new subfolders under /photos.
 * When I changed the settings so that the default uploads folder (/wp-content/uploads)
   is used the plugin started working fine.
 * Is this a bug or is it just that the plugin doesn’t support custom uploads directory?

 * Sorry, my fault.
    The plugin works fine even if a custom uploads directory is
   used. My problem had to do with the number of files already present in the custom
   uploads folder that caused a timeout error.
