Storage keeps your manuscripts, PDFs, EPUBs, covers and any other book files in one place, so you can use them in other tools without hunting for the right version.

## Set up Storage in a few steps

1. Decide where your files should live. By default they go to built-in storage. If you'd rather keep them in your own Dropbox or Google Drive, connect it under **File Storage** in **Settings** before you upload, so nothing has to be uploaded twice.
2. Click **Storage** in the left sidebar.
3. Click **New Folder** and create a folder for each book or project, for example "Manuscripts" or "Cover Art".
4. Click **Upload Files**, choose one or more files, pick a folder, and click **Upload**.
5. Your files appear in the list, newest first.

## Around the page

- The cards at the top show your **Total Files**, number of **Folders**, files **Added This Week**, and your **Last Upload**.
- **Folders** shows a card for each folder with its file count. Click a folder to show only its files, and click it again to show everything.
- **Search files and folders…** searches file names and folder names.
- The dropdown next to the search lets you show **All Files**, only **Unfiled** files, or a single folder. You can also filter by pen name.
- Each file row has buttons to **Download**, **Move to folder** and **Delete**.

## Watermarked ARC files

Watermarked copies you create in File Watermarker or ARC Tracker are listed separately under **Watermarked ARC Files**, with the reader's name and email. They always stay in built-in storage, even if you've connected Dropbox or Google Drive, and they expire 30 days after they were made.

## Using your files in other tools

Files in Storage can be linked to a book in Book Library (with **Choose from Storage** in the book's **Manuscript** field) and used by tools such as File Watermarker and ARC Tracker.
