# Recursive folder

 * I am using an public upload plugin that allows the users to manage there uploads.
   All files are stored in a private folder.
 * However nextgen can’t seem to find the images in subfolders.
    So the images are
   located at wp-content/uploads/user_uploads/user1
 * If I create a new gallery and set the folder to /wp-content/uploads/user_uploads
   I get the message “no images found”
 * when I select the subfolder user1 I do get images.
 * Is there a way to make sure the gallery can see the images in subfolders aswell?

 * [@skiipz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skiipz/) – Although an interesting
   idea we currently do not offer any importing routines that will incorporate a
   folder structure. Image will only be found the the folder the gallery is pointed
   to, anything sub-folders will not be seen.
 * You are welcome to share your thoughts and ideas on this as a Feature Request
   here: [http://nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/](http://nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/)
   but I see this as potentially far reaching in the refactoring it would require
   so if added it would not be for some time.
 * Thanks!
