# File System Connector

> Import folders and files from an SMB server and keep them in sync on demand.

You can import **files and folders** from a SMB based file system that you have access to. After importing, use the **Update** buttom (within the 3 dots menu) to **sync** with the source:

* Detects **content changes** in files.
* Adds **new files** and **removes** deleted ones.
* Reflects **moves/renames** so the structure mirrors the structure of the File System.

> Everyone with access to the Project will have access to the files and folders you connect to the project, independently of the original permissions in the File System.
