**[Gallery Pro](https://store.elementsapp.io/components/gallery-pro) can now build a gallery straight from a folder on your server** 🎉 In the Media settings, switch Source to Remote Folder, point it at a folder on your published site, and the gallery builds itself. ![CleanShot 2026-08-04 at 11.14.03@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/0/5/0544adcf545a2a052d1f992bb8db0d5b993f42b4.png) Upload new photos to that folder and they appear on your site automatically - no republishing needed. Drop a matching `-thumb` file alongside an image and it’ll be used as the thumbnail, and masonry layouts and the lightbox work exactly as they do with resources. Note: your server needs PHP for this feature. The **[update is free](https://store.elementsapp.io/components/gallery-pro)** for everyone who owns Gallery Pro, simply update to the latest version on the Elements Store and it’s there. Let us know what you build with it 👇 ---

The images associated with a “sub gallery” can each image be captioned ? (Is this done as an alt tag or is there a separate text input?)
