Manage files

Upload, store, and manage files in Langflow's File management system.

Uploading files to the File management system keeps your files in a central location, and allows you to re-use files across flows without repeated manual uploads.

Upload a file​

The File management system is available at the /files URL. For example, if you're running Langflow at the default http://127.0.0.1:7860 address, the File management system is located at http://127.0.0.1:7860/files.

To upload a file from your local machine:

  1. From the My Files window at http://127.0.0.1:7860/files, click Upload.
  2. Select the file to upload. The file is uploaded to Langflow.

Files stored in My Files can be renamed, downloaded, duplicated, or deleted.

Files are available to flows stored in different folders.

Use uploaded files in a flow​

To use your uploaded files in flows:

  1. Include the File component in a flow.
  2. To select a document to load, in the File component, click the Select files button.
  3. Select a file to upload, and then click Select file. The loaded file name appears in the component.

For an example of using the File component in a flow, see the Document QA tutorial project.

note

If you prefer a one-time upload, the File component still allows one-time uploads directly from your local machine.
