How do I upload a file?
Updated 22 October 2026
The Short Answer
Open Workspace → Files and press Upload to pick files from your computer, or drop them onto the screen. The arrow beside Upload adds Upload Folder and From Google Drive. Upload asks nothing about the file; it lands in the folder you have open.
One vocabulary, everywhere: the same sources come back at every other place you add a file.
How do I upload a file?
- In the left rail, open Workspace → Files.
- Open the folder you want the file in, if any. Uploads land in the folder you have open.
- Press Upload and pick one or more files from your computer.
- Or drag the files from your computer and drop them anywhere on the Files screen. Both land in the same place.
The new files appear at the top of the list, which opens newest first.
How do I upload a whole folder, or from Google Drive?
Press the arrow beside Upload:
- Upload Folder — picks a folder from your computer and makes a folder of the same name here, with everything inside it. Folders inside that folder are flattened into it.
- From Google Drive — opens Google's own picker on your connected Drive and copies what you choose into Files.
How many can I add at once?
From your computer, as many as you like — select several, or drop a batch onto the screen.
From Google Drive, 5 at a time on this screen (4 on an account without Prospecting). That is a limit on how many can be copied across in one go, not on how many you may have.
Is it the same everywhere else I add a file?
Yes. Wherever else you add a file, such as a message you are writing, the menu offers the same three sources:
- My Files — something already in Files, so you are not uploading it twice.
- Upload from Computer — the ordinary file picker.
- From Google Drive — files from a connected Drive.
Where there is room they sit side by side as My Files, Computer and Drive. On the Files screen itself there is no My Files row, because you are already in it.
Does PropKaki ask what the file is for?
No. Upload asks nothing at all — not one question about category, purpose or permission.
A file is just a file. What happens to it is decided later by what you do with it, which means you can upload first and think about it afterwards.
Do I need Google Drive connected?
Only for From Google Drive, which is connected under Extensions → Connectors.
If it is not connected, that row does not appear. Upload, Upload Folder and dropping files always work.
