How can I upload bulk images as separate nodes in drupal 8? I have a folder of images I am trying to bulk upload. As they will be used in galleries that can be filtered by year and location I was hoping to make them individual nodes with year and location fields that the bulk upload would fill in with a preset on each upload batch.

I've played with the media entity module and managed to upload a group of images as a single media entity but I don't really want the files grouped.

Is there a way to do this in D8 yet?
I'm fairly new to D8 so am not too sure of how things work yet.
DropZoneJS can auto-create media entities for every uploaded image.

Remember that you need to set up an entity browser using the DropZoneJS-Widget for the bulk-upload feature.

Your image gallery is an entity reference field to media entities (unlimited cardinality).

If you are looking for a general tutorial on how to set up media entities, I found this tutorial quite helpful.
