ShootProof's Desktop Uploader lets you upload photos to your galleries directly from your desktop. Just download the application to your computer, log in, and start uploading!
You don't need to worry about making albums inside your galleries, as the Desktop Uploader will create albums for you, based on the folder structure on your computer. Plus, the Uploader is fast and can handle queuing up multiple uploads, so you can set it and forget it.

Upload Your Photos
- You can drag photos onto the Uploader, or you can click the "Upload Folder" or "Upload Files" buttons to select images.
- When you upload a Folder, the Uploader will create albums in your gallery that follow the structure of the Folder you've uploaded. For example, if your folder is called "Wedding" and you have folders directly underneath named "Ceremony," "Reception," and "Bridal Party," each with images in them, ShootProof albums will automatically be created named "Ceremony," "Reception," and "Bridal Party," and the photos will be appropriately placed.

Uploader Settings
You can adjust the settings for the Uploader by clicking the Settings button in the top right corner. Here you can turn alerts on and off. We recommend leaving them set to the default settings, which notifies you when an upload is complete if you've moved on to other work or have other windows open.
We recommend keeping the Bandwith Speed setting set to the maximum upload rate possible.
