# Uploading zip-Files?

 * Hi
 * After not having used WP and NGG for a while (done all the updates though), the
   option to upload galleries via .zip-Files is not visible anymore. Neither via
   the column to the left nor via the little icon in the text editor.
 * The only two options are “Add Images” (Drag&Drop doesn´t work either and is not
   practical anyway) and “Import Folder”.
 * What happened to the nice Option “Upload zip-File” as visible here, which is 
   exactly how it used to be in my system, too?

 * I am sure there is a simple solution for this. Please let me know 🙂
    (or is 
   the solution “Upgrade to Pro”? Can´t tell from NGGs page).
 * Thanks a lot
    Christian

 * [@wishbonex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wishbonex/) – The article you
   are referring to is a little out of date. To add images via a ZIP file either
   use the ATP and click on the Add Gallery / Images tab; or, see Gallery > Add 
   Gallery / Images from the side menu.
 * Both offer the ability to drag and drop or browse to select the “zip” file you
   want to use.

 * Hi Cais,
 * thanks for your answer, but this is how I used to do it, but the option “upload
   via zip-file” is not there (anymore).
    I am using WP 3.7 (German) and NGG 2.0.33
 * My screens look like this, only 2 options:
    [http://www.aconcagua.de/wp-content/gallery/addis-1/ngg3.jpg](http://www.aconcagua.de/wp-content/gallery/addis-1/ngg3.jpg)
   [http://www.aconcagua.de/wp-content/gallery/addis-1-2/ngg1.jpg](http://www.aconcagua.de/wp-content/gallery/addis-1-2/ngg1.jpg)
 * I can not browse to the created zip-file on my PC to upload it.
    Any other ideas?
 * Kind regards
    Christian

 * [@wishbonex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wishbonex/): The new interface
   allows you to upload / drag images or zips via the same interface. Interface 
   is a bit different, but same functionality is there. If you look on your screenshots
   above, right in the middle of the place where you can drag files to it says
 * “Drag Image and Zip Files Here or Click Add Files”
 * If you are unable to drag a zip file into that space, or unable to select one
   while browsing, that would be a separate bug of some kind. But for now, I just
   want to be sure you can use that interface to add zip files.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for further explanation. I must have been kind of blind/dumb.
 * I simply had to change the data suffix in the window that opens after browsing
   to the desired folder to “All files” to click the zip-files instead of folders.
 * Sorry for the hassle! Still find the former version (as in the screenshots) more
   practical.
 * Keep up the good work!
