# Can I include several folders in one transfer?

Each transfer has one source and one destination. To send several folders, either:

- choose a parent folder that contains them all as the source, or
- create one transfer per folder — two run at once and the rest queue up automatically.

Separate transfers also make it easier to see which folder had a problem, and to give each its own schedule.
