# What does “No subfolders here” mean in the cloud folder browser?

The folder you're in has no folders inside it. The browser only lists folders, because you're choosing *where* a transfer goes or comes from — files inside aren't shown, so a folder full of files still says this.

To use the current folder, click **Use This Folder**. If you expected subfolders, click **Refresh** in case they were just added elsewhere.
