# Connections

> Connect cloud storage and auto-upload eligible files.

Connections link a cloud storage provider to Tridi so eligible files can be
imported without uploading them by hand. Manage them from the **Connections**
tab.

## Key terms

<ResponseField name="Connect">
  Link a cloud storage provider to import eligible files.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Auto-upload">

</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Suggest new">

</ResponseField>

## Connect a provider

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Connections">
    Go to the **Connections** tab and pick a provider.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Tridi">
    Sign in to the provider and grant access. Tridi reads eligible files; it
    does not modify or delete anything in your storage.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose auto-upload">
    Turn on auto-upload to import new eligible files as they appear, or leave
    it off and import manually.
  </Step>
</Steps>

</Note>

## Auto-upload

With auto-upload on, Tridi watches the connected account and imports new
eligible files for open tasks automatically. Only files that match a task are
imported — see [Tasks](/tasks) for what counts as eligible. Imported files run
through the same review as any other submission; see [Earnings](/earnings) for
how payouts post.

## Manage or disconnect

Open a connected provider from the **Connections** tab to toggle auto-upload,
re-authorize if access expired, or disconnect. Disconnecting stops future
imports; it does not remove submissions already accepted. If a connection
shows an error, re-authorize it, then [contact support](/support) if it keeps
failing.
