Uploading a file you already have

If the file already exists — on your computer or phone, exported from another app, attached to a chat — don't make your assistant retype it. Ask for an upload link. Your assistant can call get_upload_link, which gives you a private drag-and-drop page. Drop the file in and it lands in your workspace like anything else. That works for any file type, and it is much faster than streaming a large file through a conversation. You can drop a whole folder in too, or choose one with the folder picker — its structure is kept, and every file inside lands in the matching place in your workspace rather than being flattened onto one level.
