Dropping the files in to the dark space at the side of the workspace

I am working from windows and I have downloaded the images like the the video asked and unzipped the the folder. I have highlighted the images but when I drop it into the box they do not upload. How can I get around this please?

Many thanks, Millza

It should be that easy. Are you making sure to drag and drop the files from their actual destination and not mistakenly from the zip file?

Also, what happens when you try to upload? Any sort of message or error?

+1 on Joshua's answer. I was having the same issue as Millza and just needed to Extract the zip files before dragging and dropping them. (Also using Windows.)

You should also make sure that you are dropping them into the box in the lower left hand corner, not just where the file directory is. When you mouse over it with the files, the input box will pop out in a very noticeable way.

I just dragged and dropped the second img folder inside the img folder after unzipping the img.zip. Not sure why Nick's done it that way though.

I am having a similar problem to Millza Zohouri. I have downloaded the images like the the video asked and the folder was unzipped. I have highlighted the images from both the zipped folder and the unzipped folder but when I drop it into the box they do not upload. How can I upload the photos?
