Hey Gina,

You should be able to install it from the dashboard by searching for NextGen in plugins section. Here’s a step by step guide — https://www.wpkube.com/complete-guide-choose-install-wordpress-plugins/

Thanks for this review.
I’ve tried the Gmedia plugin and it was the best for me. Simply create albums, sort images by categories, add tags for images. Сool system for filtering images. Reads EXIF and Metadata, map geolocation (GPS) from files (tags, title, description). You can upload and manage your media library with free iOS App.

I would be interested to know if you ever received an answer. Would you have to upload these via ftp rather than the media library?

Thanks for this review.
Most gallery plugins simply work with the /wp-content/uploads/ directory “as is”: they just use the existing WP structure of this directory in order to create galleries and we have to select images from there.

Does any of those reviewed plugins here offer the ability to create and manage my own custom folders?
Which one allows to have custom folders and sub-folders nested under /wp-content/uploads/ (or elsewhere) taken into account and keep their original structure when creating galleries, such as: /Paris 2010/, /Christmas 2009/, /New York/2011/2015/, /my pets/cats/dogs/, etc…?
