Batch Upload To Top Level (gallery) With Sub Folders

Hi all,
I have a question about batch uploading galleries with sub folders. Is anyone able to help?
I would like to do the following:
Batch upload a number of galleries to the top level of my website. To confirm, as per my screenshot, I would like these newly uploaded galleries to be on the same level as 'CHRISTMAS PARTY 2017' plus all the other galleries which are listed.
I'm happy to use FTP or the website, I don't mind.
These new galleries that I'm looking to upload may already exist or may not.
An example folder structure is as follows: TOP LEVEL: *Client name* -> Example event 2018 -> photo-1.jpg, photo-2.jpg etc
What I do currently do:
Currently, all new galleries are uploaded via FTP but have to go into the 'Schools and groups' folder that you can see at the bottom of the screenshot.
The folder structure is as follows: TOP LEVEL: Schools and groups -> *Client name* -> Example event 2018 -> photo-1.jpg, photo-2.jpg etc
This isn't working well for me any more because I need to make use of the other features for each *client* such as pre-register and early bird. Currently I can only use pre-register and early bird on the top level (Schools and groups) meaning that all sub galleries are affected.

Basically, I'm looking to batch upload a number of galleries to the level that 'Schools and groups' currently sits.

I hope that this makes sense?

There just isn't an option to batch upload individual galleries. You can upload batch sub-galleries into a main gallery, but no option to batch upload top level galleries.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for letting me know.
This is a really important feature for me. Is there any work around? Is there a way to import the gallery names directly in the database or similar and then upload the photos by FTP or similar?

There is no workaround. The galleries have to be manually created in the admin.

Not a direct answer, Greg, but my setup is similar and I've found that creating galleries manually from a spreadsheet is a perfect task for my Virtual Assistant to handle. I created a Loom video of the process and he made several hundred galleries for me. Since there's no direct technical solution, this may be your next best option.

Thanks Kim - that's much appreciated!
Would it please be possible to see this video?
I'm going to investigate creating a Macro that will do it for me. If not, I may have to look into asking a VA to do it for me.
Thanks Kim.
