# File Manager Tab
The file manager is where all files relevant to the station are stored and can be accessed. This includes data files uploaded to the station, and provides capability to upload and store your own files of any format. It can be navigated by clicking a folder name to enter a folder, and clicking the up arrow button to return up a folder level. The Search bar allows for searching of file/folder names within the currently navigated folder.
**Using the file manager**
A toolbar contains buttons for key file management operations:
* The "DOWNLOAD" button downloads any selected files/folders to your local machine. If multiple files or folders are selected, the download will be compressed in .zip format, while single files will download as the format seen in BrightHub.
* The "DELETE" button deletes any selected files/folders. Note that files within system folders are not able to be deleted. If you require to remove a file(s) from the file-processing folder please contact BrightHub at .
* The "CREATE FOLDER" tab creates an empty folder as named when prompted.
* The "UPLOAD" button allows files and folders from your local machine to be uploaded to the File Manager.
* You can rename, copy, or move files and folders by clicking the three dots button. This button also includes options to customize the file manager's appearance, export the current folder as a CSV file, or send its contents to a printer.
Files can be sorted by Name, Type, Size or Last Modified date. Files can also be previewed by clicking the file name providing a quick and convenient way to check raw data, or any other file type, without leaving BrightHub.
**Folder types**
Two types of folders are found in the BrightHub File Manager: User created folders and "System folders".
It is recommended that a folder is created containing all documentation relating to the station. This includes files outlining installation, commissioning, maintenance and also where any images of the station can be added. Any other folders can be created at the user's convenience - the file manager has a total storage limit of 2GB with no limit on individual file sizes. \[SM comment, is the 2GB limit per station? if so, good to specify that]
A **system folder** (with the icon  ) is a folder that is created by BrightHub, and can not be modified once created. All other folders created using the "CREATE FOLDER" button are not system folders and are modifiable by the user. The two system folders currently created with every BrightHub station are the "file-processing" and "brighthub-reports" folders: \[SM comment: MAybe show the folders directly for file-processing and brighthub-reports in the image below, then just a icon as you have]
\
The **"file-processing"** folder contains folders for data files in different stages of processing. These include:
* processed: Files that have been taken from “to-be-processed” and have been successfully processed.
* failed: Files that have failed processing. Further investigation of files in the "failed" folder may be required. Notifications are coming soon to BrightHub - these will provide useful further information on failed files.
* ignored: If a certain file type sent in the daily retrieved emails is set to be ignored in the data monitoring tab (see more below), the file will show in this folder and not be processed and included in the assembled timeseries.
* to-be-processed: Files that have been retrieved from the specified file retrieval method, and are yet to be processed.
The file-processing folder also includes folders:
* assembled-timeseries-data: Containing an assembled timeseries for the whole measurement period in the form of a .csv file. This is the file that is downloaded when “Assembled Timeseries” is selected under the Download button from the station “General” page.
* data-retrieval-emails: If email is chosen as the data retrieval method, this folder contains all of the emails that have been received and processed by your organisation's set up mailbox. The emails are in .eml format.
\
The **"brighthub-reports"** system folder contains all reports generated for the station from the "Reports" tab.
