A) Go to the ldm/admin/settings, controls on synchronisation. switch it on and switch on sync_populate_categories and sync_populate_entries
B) Go to LDM main page. Create a new category. In the field 'synchronise with', enter the name of the top directory containing files you want to sync. For example, if you've got your downloads stored in http://yoursite/thisdir/thatdir, then enter /thisdir/thatdir in the field
C) that's it

When you now visit the category, it will spend a little time checking and syncing the directory and any subdirectories

Note that it will oly find filetypes that are in the vb attachments table, and you can further restrict these types using the ldm/admin/settings controls
