# Manual File Upload

Besides the many integrations with Virtual Data Rooms and document sharing tools like Box, Dropbox, and OneDrive, the Emma workspace also supports manually uploading documents.

# More ways to add documents

It's now easier to discover and start a manual upload, with several entry points throughout the workspace:

* **Sidebar**: There is a new **Add documents** button at the bottom of the source folder sidebar. This button is always available and opens the upload dialog so you can select files to add to the workspace.
* **Empty folder view**: When you open a folder that does not contain files, you will now see an **Add documents** button alongside the empty state message. This makes it faster to add your first documents to new folders.
* **Dropdown menu**: You can also find the **Add documents** option in the document browser's dropdown menu (opened from the more actions icon ⋮ in the browser toolbar).

Each of these options opens a streamlined dialog that walks you through the manual upload process, making it quicker and more consistent to add new documents.

**Note:** If your files are stored in folders linked to document sharing tools like Box, Dropbox, or OneDrive, do not use manual upload; use Emma's custom integrations instead. Document sharing tools often don't save full copies locally, which means Emma won't be able to access all necessary files.
