# Work Data - Files

The Work Data space is an isolated object storage space specific to each project.

It allows users to upload, organize, and manipulate unstructured data (tabular files, documents, archives, etc.) used for their analyses, transformations, or development.

From this space, it is possible to:

* [to import](#importer-des-donnees) or [to export](#exporter-des-donnees) files and folders directly from the interface,
* [to explore](#explorer-les-donnees), [move](#deplacer-des-donnees), rename or [delete](#supprimer-des-donnees) items,
* to access files from a Dataflow or a notebook,
* and to[interact with this data ](/docs/documentation-fr-en/data-and-ai-project/donnees-de-travail-fichiers/utiliser-les-donnees-dans-un-script.md)from Dataflow or Notebook

***

## Import data

From Library, Work Data tab,

* Drag and drop **files or folders** from your file browser into the window when the message ***Drop your files here*** appears. Choose this method to keep **the folder structure.**
  * or click on <i class="fa-file-arrow-up">:file-arrow-up:</i> **Import** to import files only

{% hint style="warning" %}
Imported files must have a maximum size of 5 GB
{% endhint %}

* An Import/Export window opens, displaying the progress and status of each file

## Export data

* To download data, select one or more files/folders
* Click **Export**
  * Single-file case: Download of the selected content is started in the browser
  * Multiple-file case: Download of an archive `.zip` is started in the browser

## Explore data <a href="#deplacer-des-donnees" id="deplacer-des-donnees"></a>

### Show information <a href="#deplacer-des-donnees" id="deplacer-des-donnees"></a>

Each file displays its metadata: name, size, modification date, and format.

### Preview files <a href="#deplacer-des-donnees" id="deplacer-des-donnees"></a>

You can preview files of type **CSV and PDF**.

## Move data <a href="#deplacer-des-donnees" id="deplacer-des-donnees"></a>

Select one or more files or folder(s):

* Click **Move** then choose the destination folder.
* Drag them to the desired destination. If you want to move them up one level in the tree, you can drag them to the top of the explorer

The file disappears from its original location and appears in the target folder.

## Create a folder <a href="#creer-un-dossier" id="creer-un-dossier"></a>

Click **Add a folder** at the top right of the explorer, then set the folder name.

You can rename a folder by right-clicking the folder and clicking Rename.

## Search for a file <a href="#creer-un-dossier" id="creer-un-dossier"></a>

Use the search bar to find your files throughout the entire tree. Search is case-insensitive.

## Delete data <a href="#supprimer-des-donnees" id="supprimer-des-donnees"></a>

Select the files or folders to delete, right-click and delete or click delete at the top right of the explorer; the file(s) will be moved to the trash.

From the trash, you can restore it to its original location, or delete it permanently.

## Use the data in a script

Work Data can also be manipulated by code via the SDK `cleyrop-sdk` : list, upload, download, move, copy, or delete files and folders programmatically.

The SDK can be used from a DevSpace, a Codelab, a Dataflow or an App:

* From a **DevSpace** — to automate file management via Python scripts and the SDK `cleyrop-sdk`.
* From a **Codelab** — to explore, test, or manually analyze the data stored in the project.
* From a **Dataflow** — to consume, transform, or enrich files in an automated processing pipeline.
* From a **App** — to access the project files from an application deployed via The Factory.

For more information, see the [SDK documentation](/docs/documentation-fr-en/support-and-resources/references-techniques-api-sdk/sdk-cleyrop-sdk.md).
