If you could simply upload some .jpg here, that'd be amazing FlyingDutch7. 

 

Did the files upload after selecting the Live Photos?

    Hey FlyingDutch7, sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that you can upload a screenshot via the camera icon (insert photos) option within your reply's box.
