# Upload Files and Folders

Intuitively upload files to your Kontainer.

Here we will give a brief introduction to how to go about it.

## File picker

Find the folder in that you want to upload files to.

In the upper right corner, hit “upload” and choose the desired upload method from the drop-down menu.

### Upload files

Select single or multiple files from your local drive and confirm in order to upload.

### Upload files and overwrite

This functions in the same way as described above.

However, files with the same name will be replaced by the newly updated file. This is ideal for different versioning and updating of files.

### Upload folders

Instead of uploading single files, you can also select entire folders from your local drive.

## Drag and drop

Instead of picking files or folders from your local drive, you can also just drag and drop them into your Kontainer in your browser.
