# Import a folder from a cloud drive
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/your-music/imports/import-from-a-cloud

Point Aden at a Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or Box folder and get releases, tracks and versions.
Aden reads the folders you already keep:

* A folder holding several tracks becomes a **release**, named after the folder.
* Numbered file names, like "01 Midnight.wav", set the track order.
* Files that differ only by a suffix, like "Midnight (Extended Mix).wav", become **versions of one track**.
* A cover image in the folder becomes the artwork.

Files go straight from the drive into Aden, so a folder of large WAV masters costs your browser nothing.

## Import a folder [#import-a-folder]

1. Open your team's **Import** page and go to the **Files** tab.
2. Pick a drive from the cloud icons, or the **+** to connect one. Aden only asks for read access; it never writes to your drive.
3. Choose **Browse**, then tick files or whole folders. Ticking a folder takes every audio file under it, however deep. Search finds a folder without opening it.
4. Review what Aden proposes. Edit titles, artists, genres, tags, status and visibility in the table. File names are read for you, so "Mave X Daevo A Place We Both Know RADIO MIX" becomes the title, the artists and a version tag.
5. Choose **Import**. Progress shows in the upload panel, and you can keep working.

Imported tracks arrive as private ideas, so nothing goes public by accident.

## Run it again [#run-it-again]

Scanning the same folder later is safe. Files you already brought over are marked **In Aden** and left unticked, even after a rename or a move. Add a new master, scan again, and only the new file is offered.

## Disconnect [#disconnect]

Disconnect a drive from its icon. Tracks you imported keep working, since their files now live in Aden.
