Pick audio, artwork or documents straight from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, with live download progress and errors that say what to do next.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

Anywhere Aden takes a file, open the **Upload** split button's chevron and
choose **Import from cloud**, then pick Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive.
The file comes over without a round trip through your Downloads folder.

It works for track audio and new versions, cover art, team logos and banners,
and organisation documents.

Team files works differently: it browses the clouds your team has connected
and copies files across on Aden's side, with no download in your browser. See
**Cloud sources for team files**.

## Using it [#using-it]

1. Open the **Upload** chevron, choose **Import from cloud**, and pick your
   provider.
2. Sign in the first time. Aden asks for read-only access.
3. Select one or more files.

While the files transfer, a toast stays on screen with the file name, how far
along it is, and how much is left. The button shows a spinner until it's done,
so it's clear something is still running. When the last file lands, the toast
turns into a confirmation and the upload continues as if you had dropped the
file yourself.

Keep the tab open until the download finishes. It runs in your browser, so
closing the tab stops it.

### When it fails [#when-it-fails]

Downloads fail for ordinary reasons: an expired session, a file that moved, a
dropped connection. The error toast names the file and the reason and tells you
the next step, usually picking the file again or downloading it to your device
and uploading it here.
