iphone ipad itunes file-sharing

i want to use the "file sharing" feature in my app. I want to create a photo-app which has no content when the user starts it. Therefore the user can select an image-folder on his mac or pc. After that and starting the app on his iphone or ipad, all the content of his image-folder will be viewable.

I think its only possible to add simple files to my app - not content folders, right? Any ideas how i could do this?

Thanks for your time and help.

On your mac, rename the folder to folder.pkg.

You can now add folder.pkg to the documents for your app using iTunes File Sharing.

Once folder.pkg has been added, rename it to its original name.

Not sure how to do this with iTunes on a PC.
