I just tried out drupal and testing making an article. By default it only allows one image upload. I just wonder how do you handle multiple images in one article. Also does anyone have a way to keep images organized? In wordpress there is a basic media library to manage uploaded images. I don't know how you guys do it in drupal.

I am also considering hosting images in a CDN. Does anyone do that?

There is no single solution in Drupal -- but rather a toolkit that covers multiple approaches for pretty much anything you can think of. The Media module provides a library-like environment, if that's what you're looking for. Of course, you can always simply use an image field that is configured to allow multiple instances. For display, you can put use CSS to position multiple images, or the Insert module, or a slideshow tool like Flexslider, or just use IMCE and forget about fielded data.

Hi andrewchen5678,

For multiple images to upload for an article, there is an option which i am showing you in path:

1) First you need to go to the particular content type like an article one. path:->admin/structure/content type/article/manage field/.
2)then,under edit image field ->image field setting->number of values.
3)here you can define any number of values to be uploaded.

For organizing the images: I suggest you that you need to use views or some other media modules available at drupal.org.
