# Files & Cloud Drive

> Upload files and manage them in your cloud drive

Profy provides comprehensive file management capabilities. You can upload files directly in a conversation for Expert to analyze and process. All uploaded files are stored in your personal cloud drive and can be reused across conversations.

## Uploading Files

You can send files to Expert in several ways:

## Cloud Drive

All files uploaded through conversations are automatically saved to your personal cloud drive. You can manage these files independently outside of conversations.

### Accessing the Cloud Drive

Open the file manager in the workspace panel on the right side of the chat interface to browse and manage your cloud drive files.

### Cloud Drive Operations

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Browse Files">
    The cloud drive displays all your files in a list view, including file name, size, upload time, and other details.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Cross-Conversation Reference">
    Select "Cloud Drive" from the "+" menu to pick from your existing files and insert them into the current conversation — no need to re-upload the same file.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Download Files">
    Files generated by Expert (code, documents, images, etc.) are also saved to the cloud drive. You can download them to your local machine at any time.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Delete Files">
    Files you no longer need can be deleted from the cloud drive to free up storage space.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Expert-Generated Files

In addition to files you upload, Expert also produces files during its work:

* **Code files**: Source code written or modified by Expert
* **Document output**: Generated reports, analysis documents, presentations, etc.
* **Image assets**: AI-generated images, charts, and design drafts
* **Website files**: Built website project files

These files reside in Expert's sandbox working directory. You can browse them through the workspace file panel and sync them to your cloud drive for permanent storage.

## Storage Quota

Your cloud drive storage space depends on your current subscription plan:

<Warning>
  When your storage space is nearing its limit, the system will prompt you to clean up unnecessary files or upgrade your plan. Exact quotas are displayed in real time within the product.
</Warning>

If you're a Team plan user, storage quota may be managed at the team level — the entire team shares an organization-level storage pool.

## File Security

<Tip>
  Your uploaded files are only accessible to you and the Experts you authorize. Files are encrypted during both transmission and storage.
</Tip>

* Each user's file space is isolated from others
* Files are not used for model training
* You can delete your files at any time — deletion is irreversible

## Best Practices

* **Use archives for batch uploads**: When you need to provide multiple files at once (e.g., a project's source code), packaging them as a ZIP is more efficient
* **Leverage cloud drive reuse**: Upload frequently referenced files (design specs, standard documents, etc.) once, then reference them across multiple conversations
* **Clean up regularly**: Periodically remove temporary files you no longer need to keep your cloud drive organized and save storage space
