You can reach your File Manager by clicking Dashboard at the top of your account. Once you reach the Dashboard, click Settings and File Manager.

Generally, you upload files while you are editing your site since uploading tools are built into the different applications and modules. The File Manager is where all of your web site's files are stored and where you may directly upload a file without going through the Builder.

NOTE: You file storage allotment is based on your account type. Free sites are allowed 40 MB. Premium sites - Starter, Enhanced and Pro sites are allowed 400 MB, 1,000 MB and 5.000 MB respectively. Click here to upgrade your site to a Premium package.
