# Files

> Upload, organize, share, and archive the documents you use in Mesa.

The Files page is your personal document workspace. Upload the documents you rely on, organize them into folders, and tag them in conversations whenever you need them. Unlike one-off [attachments](/attachments), files persist across sessions.

## Browse your files

Open **My Files** from the sidebar. Use the tabs at the top to switch between the different file types on your account.

## Organize with folders

Click **New folder** in the top-right to create a folder. Move files in by dragging and dropping them, or by selecting them and clicking **Move items**.

## Open and manage a file

Double-click a file name to open it in a dedicated view. From there you can **Share**, **Download**, **Upload new version**, or **Rename** it (under the three dots menu).

Back in the main view, select or right-click files to **Share**, **Move**, or **Archive** them. Archiving clears files out of your working space when you no longer need them, without deleting them.
