Navigate on your local machine to the directory which contains the images you want to upload. Select all, and click on the sideways arrow to mark them for upload.

If you want to assign the images to a specific Project and/or Dataset, you'll need to create the respectice Project and Dataset in the main screen once login. Other than that, they can be created in the Web interface as well.

Selecting none of the Projects or Datasets will just create a new Dataset to house the images. Click on Add to the Queue.

Either click on Import, or to specify metadata, click on MDE button on the bottom right. Do not change the filenames until you see the green tick at the end of the uploads (Processing Complete).

Click on the Refresh icon at the main screen. You'll see the images uploaded under their new Datasets.
