# My files

> Each person's private file storage with folders, uploads, rename, move, a 30-day bin, a 2 GiB quota, previews and creating versions from files.

**Tệp của tôi** (My files, `/app/files`) is your private file storage: PDFs, LaTeX zips, images and folders. Other researchers cannot see it; the lab head can only **browse and download** (logged in the audit log), never edit, delete or move your files.

## Upload

Click **Tải lên** (Upload) or drag files from your computer into the list. The queue shows progress; you can cancel an upload before it finishes.

| Limit | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Per file | 200 MiB |
| Quota per person | 2 GiB (usage bar at the top; the lab head can change it with **Đặt hạn mức**/Set quota) |
| Same name in the same folder | Rejected |

Files dropped in [Create a work](/en/huong-dan/tao-cong-trinh/) or [Add a version](/en/huong-dan/them-phien-ban/) go into the **Đã nhập** (Imported) folder.

## Manage

- **Thư mục mới** (New folder), switch **Dạng danh sách / Dạng lưới** (List / Grid), **Lọc theo loại** (Filter by type), **Sắp xếp** (Sort), and the **Tìm tệp** (Search files) box (diacritics optional).
- Rename with `F2`; move by drag and drop or cut/paste; copy/paste with `Ctrl/⌘+C`, `Ctrl/⌘+V`; select all with `Ctrl/⌘+A`; delete with `Del`.
- A folder cannot be moved into itself or one of its subfolders.

## Bin

Deleting is a soft delete: files go to the **Thùng rác** (Bin), are kept for **30 days**, then deleted permanently and the space is returned. You can restore them during that time; restoring a file while its parent folder is still in the bin reports an error. Uploads left unfinished for more than 24 hours are also cleaned up.

## Preview

Double-click, press `Enter` or click **Xem** (View) to open a file in the work window (`?open=file:<id>`). PDFs, images, text and code are shown directly; HTML, SVG and other types are download-only and never rendered in the browser.

## Create a version from files

Select a zip and a PDF → **Tạo phiên bản từ file** (Create version from files) → choose the work. This goes through the same flow as [Add a version](/en/huong-dan/them-phien-ban/); the original files stay in your storage. In the other direction, **Lưu vào Tệp của tôi** (Save to My files) in the Info tab of the work page copies a version's file into your storage.
