# Cloud Storage

> Bring files into a project from connected drives or public links

Cloud imports copy selected external files into the current project. Available
sources depend on your plan and workspace.

## Import files into a project

From a task:

1. Select **+ Add** in the composer.
2. Choose **Import from cloud storage**.
3. Connect a provider, paste a supported public link, or select an available
   source.
4. Choose the files or folders to import.
5. Wait for the import to finish before asking Biomni to use the files.

Imported files are copied into Biomni-managed project storage. They then behave
like other project files: authorized project members can browse, preview,
download, and attach them according to their project role.

Cloud imports support provider connections and selected public links, including
Google Drive, Dropbox, and S3 sources. The exact choices shown in the dialog can
vary by workspace.

<Note>
  A cloud import is a copy. Updating the source file later does not automatically
  update the imported project file.
