First at all, make sure your folder contains following components:

A media folder containing all of your artwork files.
These files must be formatted correctly and numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on. *Ensure there are no hash marks (#) in the filename.
Optional - A single .csv file containing your collection’s metadata.
*If you exclude the .csv file, the NFTs will get default name and description from your collection details.
Optional - A thumbnails folder containing the thumbnail(s) you would like to display on your non-image media (audio/video).
*If you are using non-image media (audio/video), you MUST include the thumbnail folder to upload images for marketplaces to display on collection listing page. By default they will match on filename media/1.mp4 -> thumbnails/1.png

To upload your artwork and metadata directly onto Freee, select the "Import self-hosted collection artworks" option and follow instruction below:

Make sure you have uploaded your artworks & metadata to decentralised storage (IPFS). Freee accept only artworks that stored on IPFS and no other options.
Make sure your uploaded artworks & metadata meet the amount needed for your collection (collection size / total supply). Freee will validate provided IPFS URI to confirm it contains enough amount of artworks.

*We recommended this for advanced ceator/project owner who want to maintain their artworks on own decentralised storage services.

Fill in Metadata URI for your artworks. This shall points to the metadata of your artworks. The URI base should end with a trailing slash and work without extensions.
A validation will run automatically once you done entering your Metadata URI.
You are good to go if you see a validation success message.
