# Importing Folders & Documents

### Importing Folders & Documents via Upload
Documents and folders can be uploaded directly to the buildagil document repository using the upload role. This is the default and easiest way to upload documents to buildagil. For more information on uploading documents, see the following article: [Uploading Folders & Documents](/en/article/uploading-folders-documents-all435/).

| For data migrations involving large amounts of data, we recommend importing via [OneDrive](#3-importing-folders-documents-via-onedrive) or [GoodSync](#3-importing-folders-documents-using-goodsync).

### Importing Folders & Documents via OneDrive
Alternatively, existing folder structures can be imported via a temporary OneDrive sync. This is particularly useful at the start of a project, when local folder structures containing many files need to be transferred to buildagil.  

| Due to OneDrive's file size limit, synchronization should only be set up temporarily for the import and then disconnected again. For more information on disabling synchronization, see the following section: [Disabling OneDrive Sync](/en/article/synchronization-with-onedrive-ptcako/).

For more information on setting up OneDrive synchronization, see the following article: [Synchronization with OneDrive](/en/article/synchronization-with-onedrive-ptcako/).

### Importing Folders & Documents Using GoodSync
With GoodSync, you can import folders and documents into buildagil easily and in an organized manner. This method is especially recommended for data migrations involving a large number of files.

The following article describes how to set up the connection between buildagil and GoodSync: [File Sharing with GoodSync](/en/article/file-sharing-with-goodsync-q2xscu/).
