# My Files

**My Files** is your workspace's file storage. Use it to keep the spreadsheets your analysis depends on — store lists, sales history, portfolio exports — in the workspace alongside the work that uses them.

Files here are stored, not drawn on the map. To put your own geographic data on a map, import it as a custom layer instead. See [Map Layers](/manage/map-layers.md).

***

## Uploading a File

1. Open **My Files** in the sidebar under Manage.
2. Click **Upload File**.
3. Drag a file into the upload area, or click to browse.
4. Edit the **File Name** if you want something clearer than the original filename. The extension is kept for you.
5. Click to upload.

**Accepted formats:** Excel (`.xls`, `.xlsx`) and CSV.

**File size limit:** 50MB.

## Finding a File

The list shows every file in the workspace with:

| Column          | What it shows            |
| --------------- | ------------------------ |
| **File Name**   | The name given at upload |
| **Uploaded By** | Who added it             |
| **Size**        | File size                |
| **Uploaded**    | When it was added        |
| **Workspace**   | Which workspace holds it |
| **Type**        | File format              |

Search by name, uploader, or type. When nothing matches you'll see **No files match your search**.

***

## Downloading a File

Open a file's **⋯** menu and choose **Download**. Anyone with access to the workspace can download what's stored in it, so treat the workspace as the boundary for anything sensitive.

***

## Deleting a File

Deletion goes through the GrowthFactor team. Open the file's **⋯** menu and choose the delete option to open **Request File Deletion**, then submit the request. You'll see confirmation that it was received, and the team reviews and processes it.

{% hint style="info" %}
A file stays available until the team processes the request. For anything time-sensitive, reach out at <analyst@growthfactor.ai>.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.growthfactor.ai/manage/my-files.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
