Editing Storj (section)

= Creating a folder, uploading and downloading files =

This step is very easy. Once connected to our account, there are two main sections of the GUI, namely:

* Local site (your computer) - Left pane
* Remote site (the Storj cloud) - Right pane

If you already have some folders (buckets) in your Storj account, they will be displayed in the <code>Remote site</code> pane. You can easily create a folder by right clicking somewhere in the remote site pane and selecting <code>Create directory</code> (Figure 5.1).

'''Note:''' You can add as many folders as you want and also add sub-folders!.

You can now browse to the files/folders you want to upload in the <code>Local site</code> pane and upload them by dragging-and-dropping them to the Storj folder you created in the <code>Remote site</code> pane.

'''Tip:''' If you can't add a directory, you can reconnect to Storj by doing the following:

* Go to <code>Server</code> -> <code>Reconnect</code> (Figure 5.3).

Downloading files is just as easy, only this time drag-and-drop the files from your folder in your <code>Remote Site</code> pane to a folder of your choice in the <code>Local Site</code> pane. That's it!
