The File Upload Data Connector allows you to easily ingest documents by uploading them directly via the platform.

## Setting Up the Connector
1.  **Select File Upload Data Source**
    Navigate to the **Data Sources** section of your project. Click **Add data source** and select **File Upload** from the available library.
    {/* ![File Upload Data Connector](../Images/File_Upload_connector.png) */}

2.  **Name Your Data Source**
    Provide a meaningful name for your connector and click **Create**. You will then be navigated to the data source's page. From here, select your new data source to begin uploading files.

3.  **Upload Your Files**
    Upload your files or folders using the provided interface.
    > 💡 Note:
    > *   Ensure your files are of [supported types](/docs/data-source-connectors/supported-file-types) (e.g., PDFs, Word Documents, JSON, Plain Text).
    > *   File size limit for File Upload is 50MB.

4.  **Monitor Ingestion Status**
    Monitor the upload and ingestion status directly on the page.
