# How do I pick a specific folder inside a cloud account as the source or destination?

Click the **cloud** button beside the Source or Destination field and choose **Browse** next to the account. A folder browser opens:

- Click a folder to open it; the breadcrumb at the top lets you jump back up any number of levels in one click.
- Click **Use This Folder** at whatever level you're on — including the top — to fill in the field.
- **Refresh** reloads the list if you've just added folders elsewhere.

If you want the whole account, choose **Use … root** from the same menu instead of browsing.
