# Data

> Upload files for task inputs and control who on the team sees them.

**Data** is the team-scoped file store used by platform task inputs. Upload a file once, then select
it from any compatible task form without embedding the file in the task definition.

Open [Data](https://hud.ai/data) to upload, download, rename, or delete files.

## File scopes

The selected view determines both what you see and where a new upload is stored.

| View            | Who can read it     | Who can upload                                    |
| --------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **My files**    | You and team admins | You                                               |
| **Team shared** | Every team member   | Team admins                                       |
| **All files**   | Team admins         | No direct upload; select a destination view first |

External collaborators can access only their own files. Team members can access their own files and
team-shared files. Team admins can manage every file in the team.

Only the uploader and team admins can rename or delete a file. A file never leaves its team.

## Upload files

Drag files onto the page or select **Upload**. The browser uploads directly to platform storage and
shows progress for each file.

| Limit                 | Maximum             |
| --------------------- | ------------------- |
| One file              | 250 MiB             |
| One browser selection | 10 files or 1 GiB   |
| One member folder     | 100 files or 2 GiB  |
| Team-shared folder    | 100 files or 5 GiB  |
| Entire team           | 500 files or 10 GiB |

Pending uploads count toward storage limits until they complete or expire. If a batch fails
validation, reduce the file count or total size before retrying.

## Use a file in a task

When a task template exposes a supported data-file argument, its platform run form shows a file
picker. The task receives the selected file reference and can stage it at a workspace-relative
path when the trace starts.

The trace viewer applies the same file permissions as the Data page. Sharing a taskset, job, or
trace does not grant access to an otherwise private data file.

Use [file tracking](/platform/file-tracking) to inspect changes the agent makes after a file is
staged into the workspace.
