There is a sub-form on the page for you to create a folder if there is not already one with your name on it. <p>Your own photo folder is named like this: <var>YourName</var>. It is a <a href="https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names">simplified, anglicized</a> version of your name. It should have no spaces, accents. hyphens, apostrophes or underline characters. When creating a new folder using the form, the form will prevent you using nonalphabetic characters. <p>(You cannot create sub-folders. All your photos go into the same folder.) <p>Please, please rename the filenames of the photos intelligently to e.g. "<var>big-hole-near-path-to-fgh.jpg</var>", or "<var>2018-ad-07-entrance3.jpg</var>" rather than "<var>DSC31415926.jpg</var>" or whatever your camera app produces. <p>Please use lower-case for all the filenames of photogrpahs. <p>Please don't upload lots of near-duplicate photos: cull them first to just the good ones. <h2>Simple instructions</h2> <ol> <li>If you only have a photo or two just email or message them to someone who knows how to do it. <br> If you are doing more than a few photos, email will be clunky, so do this: <li>Copy the photo files from your phone to any laptop using a USB cable.<br> See <a href="#android">phone app</a> if you do not know how to copy files from your phone. <li>Rename the filenames of the photos to something descriptive (see para above). <li>After copying your files to a laptop, use the the <a href="/photoupload/">Upload Photos</a> form to upload them. </ol> <p><b>Complete beginners</b> can also put all their files into their own folder within the folder <var>/home/expo/expofiles/uploads/</var> on the <a href="../computer.html"><i>expo laptop</i></a> and ask a more experienced user to upload them. <h3>Blog photos</h3> <p>If you want to use your photos in a blog (see <a href="uploading.html#blog">Using uploaded photos in blogs</a>) tell an experienced user which and they will copy a lower-resolution version to the appropriate place. <p>That's it, you're done. <hr /> Go back to <a href="../survey/newwallet.html">Creating a new survey wallet</a><br> Go back to <a href="uploading.html">Uploading Photos (complex)</a> <hr /> </body> </html>
