Start a cloud import

Test a source connection, choose the folder to copy and its destination workspace folder, then start an import that continues after you leave.

This wizard copies files on dosya’s servers. It does not run a transfer on your computer like the local rclone guide. For a service marked Token, complete token authorization first.

Steps: connect the source

  1. Switch to the workspace where you want the files to arrive.
  2. Open Integrations → Import from another cloud. Under New import, search for the source service or use a category filter.
  3. Select the service. Fill in the connection fields shown for that service. Complete the fields marked with an asterisk. For S3-compatible storage, choose the Provider first so the correct fields appear.
  4. In Folder to import, enter a source path if needed, such as a bucket and folder. Leave it empty to start at the source root when that service permits it.
  5. Select Test connection. Wait for the listing and Connection works message. If the test fails, correct the credentials or path before continuing.
  6. Open a folder in the listing to import that folder’s contents. Use Up one level to go back. Check the path above the listing before proceeding.

Choose the destination and start

  1. Beside Import into, select the folder button. The default is workspace root. Pick the intended folder in this workspace. A member limited to a folder must stay inside that permitted area.
  2. Check the source path and destination again. Start with a separate destination folder if you need to inspect the result before combining it with existing files.
  3. Select Start import. The button becomes available after a successful connection test and when the plan permits another import.
  4. Wait for Import started and the new row in Imports. You can now close the page. Leaving before this confirmation does not confirm that a copy was started.

The copy imports the contents of the selected source folder, including its subfolders. Completed files appear in the destination as the import progresses. Opening a source folder to inspect it also changes the folder that will be imported, so check the displayed path after browsing.

Follow Monitor or cancel an import to see whether the import completed fully or only some files arrived. Use Fix a failed cloud import for refused starts or failed files.

Expected result

Import started appears and the job is listed in Imports with the chosen source and destination. Completed files begin appearing in that destination as the copy runs.
