# File Uploads

File uploads enable you to create a knowledge base by uploading code files and documents. You can upload multiple files and AI will retreive the most relevant files to answer your questions or to generate code.

**How to Upload Files**

* You can open the File Upload popup by either clicking the Clip icon in the "enter text box", or by clicking the File Upload option in the Left Nav. You can drag and drop files into this popup, or click the text and select the desired files
* You can close the popup anytime, and the file upload will still continue in the background.
* The file uploads will show the completion state, which includes two steps
  * Upload the file 
  * Generate Embeddings which can be used as context for AI
* Clicking on Finish, will show you the list of all files you have successfully uploaded so far.

**How to use the data from File Uploads as Context:**

* In the "Enter Text Box", you should select "File Uploads" as the source.
* Once selected, AI will retrieve the most relevant files, or chunks of files (if the file is long), and use as context to answer your questions

**Supported File Formats and Upload Limits:**

* Please see all [supported extensions](/docs/basics/file-uploads/supported-extensions.md)
* Premium Plan currently allows up to 50 files per month, with max size 2mb per file. Scale plan offers 3X the limit. We will update the limits over time.
