    I do the same Pete , but on my mobile.

    I also don't know what drag and drop is. I thought it was what happened to @ARMANDII on a Saturday night. ( He dressed up in drag and got dropped off in Manchester :) )

      I'm not sure you can drag and drop on a mobile but it's easy on a PC. I just highlight the photos on my photo storage software programme, reduce that page to half size and then just drag the photos into this posting box at the bottom of GC. The GC screen shows a scrolling bar in the top right of it showing that it's downloading - and disappears when done.

        Just tried your drag and drop method on a couple of posts @shiney and it works fine.

        I can do single or multiple photos as you describe, so thanks for that. :dbgrtmb:

            I've just tried it from Android and when I click on the "Upload a File" button (below the post/text box) it then gives three options (Camera, Camera Recorder or Files) - choose 'Files' and then find the photo you have stored on your phone.

              Or you can just "click" on upload file then choose camera and take the picture there and then.

                Just stay on gardenerscorner, it's the same process as uploading from a PC.

                  And I am sorry for the bother. it all came back to me. I had tried to upload directly from my cell to this site a few years back, but it would not take some photos as they were too "large", did take the one above. So because of the needed manipulation of "trying" to make it smaller to appease the acceptance size I gave up. So again sorry.

                    I think if it's something you rarely do then it's difficult to remember.

                      Sometimes even from my lap top it gets fussy with the "size" thing. So I just avoid it . Thanks.
