The Whiteboard’s gallery images come from either the panel’s “downloads” or "tmp" folder or from a connected USB-drive with jpeg or png images on the drive. In Chromium, press and hold an image to download it or share it to the Whiteboard. Use capture tool and “open in whiteboard” to bring an image immediately into the Whiteboard

Importing Multiple Images in Whiteboard:

Navigate to Applications/Locker, then tap Files. Locate the images you want to bring into the Whiteboard. Press and hold to select and drag your finger to select multiple images. Then select the share button in the top right corner (looks like a < symbol). Choose “import multiple images.”
