The dialog box will open. Please add all necessary information:
The Name of your Uploader Connection. This name is for you to tell apart different Uploader Connection. It is not publicly visible.
The Profile Picture of your Uploader Connection, e.g. of a person or a company.
The User name is the name of the author of the Native Posts, e.g. of a person or a company.
The Default link is where you link to from a Native Post in case you don't set a link for a specific post. E.g. your company's website.
The User link is the link from the profile picture.
Choose your moderation settings and then click on Create. The Uploader Connection is set up. You can now add your first Native Post.
