Adding files to folders

Use folders to organize files. Add files to folders that you have Contributor or Owner access to.

1. Follow these steps to add files to folders:
   1. Open the folder.
   2. Click Upload Files or Add Files.
   3. Find and select files in any of the following ways:

      Choice	Description
      Browse files on my computer	Upload files from your computer to the folder. Uploading a file to a public folder makes the file. Note: External users cannot see or access public folders and files. Uploading a file to a shared folder means the file is shared with whoever the folder is shared with.
      Recent Files	Select files that were recently uploaded or recently shared with you. To search across all files, type characters in the search field and click the search icon. All files include your files, files available to everyone, and files shared with you.
      Pinned Files	Select from a list of your pinned files.
      My Files	Select files you uploaded. To search across your files, type characters in the search field and click the search icon.
      Shared With Me	Select files people have shared with you. To search across files shared with you, type characters in the search field and click the search icon.
      Sync	Add files to be synchronized to your desktop so you can work with those files offline. Syncing is a way to share a file and keep it synchronized when multiple people are updating it concurrently. Keep your local files synchronized with files on the server. If you change a local version of a file, the changes are uploaded automatically to the corresponding file on the server. Conversely, if you or another user changes the version on the server, then the changes are synchronized to your local file. Note: Being able to synchronize files is dependent on the desktop plug-ins being installed on your client.
      Other People's Files	Select files that have been shared with you, a community you belong to, or publicly. Start typing a name or email address in the search field and then select it. If the name or address does not display, click the search icon.
      My Folders	Select files from your folders. Expand My Folders, click a folder, and then select files from that folder. To search across all files, type characters in the search field and click the search icon. All files include your files, public files, and files shared with you.
      Shared Folders	Select files from folders shared with you. Expand Shared Folders, click a folder, and then select files from that folder. To search across all files, type characters in the search field and click the search icon. All files include your files, public files, and files shared with you.
