Uploading Data Files¶
The file browser inside the Miner service is the canonical UI for putting sample data into your project bucket. It supports drag-and-drop, multi-file selection, and folder navigation.
How to upload from the browser¶
- Open the sample whose files you want to upload.
- Scroll to the Sample Files section. It's scoped to the sample's
samples/{slug}/uploads/directory in the project bucket. - Drag and drop files into the section, or click Upload and pick one or more files.
- A progress bar shows per-file upload state. Files appear in the listing as they finish.
For project-level uploads not tied to a specific sample, use Settings → Project → Resources.
Where files land
The file browser always writes to the canonical project-bucket structure (samples/{slug}/uploads/, subjects/{slug}/uploads/, analyses/{slug}/, etc.) — you can't accidentally write to the wrong place from the UI. See Project Storage & File Paths for the full directory layout.
Downloading from the browser¶
Click the Download action next to any file. The browser fetches a time-limited signed URL and triggers a direct download from cloud storage.
For downloading many files at once from a single analysis, see Results. For pulling outputs across many analyses, see Bulk Download.
