# Local Files

> Add video files directly from your computer

Add video files (MP4, MOV, WEBM) directly from your computer to a Cloudglue [collection](/core-concepts/entity-collection).

## Add on the dashboard

From the **Data Connectors** page, click **Local Files** under Other Sources. Select your files, pick a collection, and add them.

## Add with the API/SDK

```javascript theme={null}
import Cloudglue from '@cloudglue/cloudglue-js';

const client = new Cloudglue({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });

// Upload a file
const { data } = await client.files.uploadFile({ file });

// Add it to a collection
await client.collections.addVideo(collectionId, data.id);
```

See [Upload File](/api-reference/endpoint/files/post) and [Add Video to Collection](/api-reference/endpoint/collections/files-post) for the full API reference.

## Supported formats

* **MP4**, **MOV**, **WEBM**
* Up to 400MB per file
* Up to 5 files at a time via the dashboard

## For larger files or bulk imports

For bulk imports or files larger than 400MB, use a [data connector](/data-connectors/overview#data-connectors) or the [API/SDK](/api-reference/endpoint/files/post) directly.
