First thank you so much for the previous help with the extension.
I now face another small issue, hoping you could help.
I have created several album/galleries/folders and I wish to have them showing up in my menu like this

Bottom Menu
- Gallery I
-- Gallery II
-- Gallery III
-- Gallery IV

However, it seems like I am forced to have each of the folders connected directly to a menu item (eg. Main or Bottom Menus) and then all my galleries just consume all my menu space.

How can I get the folders/galleries to show up in a drop-like list (my template allows this by a drag and drop option with other menu items) rather than individual menu items?

Thanks.

Check the manual for the usage of Tags.

You can assign tags to events and create menu items which use those tags to show only events having this tag. I'm doing the this for my "Pictures" category for example.

Or wait for Event Gallery 3.2 where you can use categories.

When is 3.2 being released?

I did go through the manual but non of the solutions there were useful.

You can start here:

http://www.svenbluege.de/joomla-event-gallery/event-gallery-manual?showall=&start=4#LinkIt

This gallery component supports just a flat list of folders. If you need a navigation tree you're out of luck. But you can achieve a tree structure using tags and Joomla menu items. Create a menu structure which represents the structure you would like to have. Each menu item might link to the view of the event gallery you need. This is simple if you link directly to an event. If you want to have different list you can use tags to separate the lists.

Example for such a structure:

Event1 -> Tags = nature

Event2 -> Tags = nature

Event3 -> Tags = architecture

Event4 -> Tags = people, men

Event4 -> Tags = people, men

Event4 -> Tags = people, women

Event4 -> Tags = people, children

You can arrange the events within the following menu structure:

Menu Item 1 -> Event List with tag "nature"

Menu Item 2 -> Event List with tag "architecture"

Menu Item 3 -> Event List with tag "people"

Menu Item 4 -> Event List with tag "men"

Menu Item 5 -> Event List with tag "women"

Menu Item 6 -> Event List with tag "children"
