# Can I upload files to a cloud account by dragging them into the Storage Studio location?

Yes. Drag or copy files into an account's folder inside the **Storage Studio** location and they upload to that account, just as if you'd added them in the provider's own app.

For big or many-file jobs, **Data Transfers** gives you more control — progress for each job, the choice of copy, move or sync, and a clear reason with **Retry** if something fails. Use Finder for everyday drag-and-drop, and Data Transfers when you want to see and manage a larger transfer.
