The Upload view is divided into three areas. In the main window, you can upload and drop any data for upload. In the top left corner, there are options to choose the method of data upload. On the left side, Tags and Properties can be prepared for the Cells that will be created with the uploaded data.

The same dataset was used for the illustration of the Files and Folders upload options. Once the data is placed into the upload window, its future structure becomes visible.
Files
The Files option splits the uploaded data into separate Cells, with each file placed in a new Cell. The uploaded data can be of any data type. Filenames will be unified across all Cells and the original names will be preserved in Cell Properties.

Folders
The Folders option preserves the same folder structure as on the local disk. The Cell structure mirrors the folder structure before upload, allowing multiple files to be uploaded to the same new Cell. The uploaded data can be of any data type. The original folder paths will be preserved in Cell Properties.

Existing cells
The Existing Cells option allows uploading any previously downloaded or exported Cells. The Cells needs to have a descriptor and may contain additional data. The Cells need to be extracted from an archive first.
