  • Then, on the new post window, check the checkbox beside the Instagram account you added in the last section of this Itechguide. This confirms that you want to upload photos to the selected Instagram account.
Checking an account is necessary as LatelySocial allows you to connect multiple Social accounts – so you can select multiple socail accounts and post to them at the same time.
  • Before you proceed to the next steps, select Carousel (the default is Media).
  • Then, on the File manager section, click the first icon. The option to upload a file from your computer will open.
The first icon (counting from left) allows you to upload photos to Instagram from your PC. The next 2 icons allow you to upload from Google Drive and Dropbox respectively.
You can also upload videos to Instagram from your PC with this tool.
  • When you click the first icon, the tool will open the option to navigate to the folder with the photos you want to upload. Navigate to the folder containing the photos you want to upload and double-click the first photo. The photo will start uploading to LatelySocial.
  • Wait for the photo to finish uploading. Once it is uploaded, the preview will be displayed on the right pane of the tool. To upload more phots, click the file upload icon again.
  • Then, navigate to the folder containing the second photo and double-click it. The photo will upload.
  • The photos uploaded will be displayed in the highlighted area in the image below. The previews will also be available on the right pane. The next step is to add some information in the Add a caption field (this is optional).
  • Add some information in the Add a caption field – you can describe the photos or add some hashtags or do both.
As you add information in Add a caption, LatelySocial will count the words. It will also display the maximum words allowed – and a preview of the texts (on the right pane – below the photos you uploaded).
  • Before you post, if you want to schedule the post to be published at a later date and/or time, check the Schedule checkbox and select the date and time you want the post to be published to Instagram.

  • Finally, to upload multiple photos to Instagram from PC, on the bottom right of the new post page, click Post now.
Wait for the photos to be uploaded to Instagram. When the upload completes successfully, you will receive a message at the bottom of the screen – see the 2nd and 3rd images below.

    I recently signed up on a free account with lately social. Just wanted to let you know that the posts aren’t unlimited. I could do only 5 posts a day. And the page had to constantly refreshed as it acted funny even images below 2mb size saying they were oversized.

    Regards
