File Management

The central repository for company files, local upload limits, AWS S3 direct imports, dataset assignments, and deletion rules.

Overview

The Files section serves as the central repository for all raw data files within your company. Navigate to Files in the left sidebar to inspect and organize items.

Files Dashboard

View all files uploaded across the tenant. You can search by filename, sort by upload date or size, and filter by file mime-type.

Uploading and Importing Files

Click the Upload Files button. Two options are available:

Option 1: Upload from Device

Select files from your local system. You can upload up to 50 files at a time per batch.

Option 2: Import from AWS S3

Choose a configured S3 integration (see Section 6), browse the S3 bucket, and select individual files or paste an S3 folder key path to import its contents.

S3 File Reference Architecture

S3-imported files are referenced by their S3 object key, not copied locally into Tensoract servers. If an object is deleted externally from the S3 bucket, it will become inaccessible in the platform.
