Answers.Text: In case it's useful, here is some more info on this: Once you've chosen a subfolder, the upload button in KCFinder then uploads into that subfolder. You do actually have to go into KCFinder and choose this subfolder; if you simply try to upload from the initial IMCE window you will only upload into the images folder.

  Right-click on the "images" folder in the kcfinder browser. You can choose New Subfolder.
