# Can I upload files to my website hosting with Storage Studio?

Yes. Add your host as an **SFTP** account (or FTP, if that's all it offers) using the details from your hosting control panel, and set the **base path** to your site's folder if you like. Then copy files there with a transfer.

Be careful with **sync** and **move**: syncing makes the destination match the source, which can remove files on the server that aren't in your local folder. For a website, **copy** is usually the safe choice.
