# Synchronize Files using Planio Storage

[Planio Storage](https://plan.io/file-management/) lets you set up a dedicated folder within any Planio project that will be synchronized scross your team. All team members can access files using the web or directly in their devices using a Planio Storage Sync Client.

Next, run the installer and enter your **Planio domain**, **login** and **password**. Planio Storage will allow you to sync everything from your Planio account or just the projects you select.

You can also specify the local folder where Planio Storage files should be placed.

Handling files and folders inside the synced folders works like you're used to and every change will be synced with Planio. Should you be offline during a change, the sync will happen the next time your device is connected to the Internet.

In case you and a colleague edit the same file while offline or during syncs, Planio Storage will create a copy of the file and you'll be able to merge your changes.

## Browser access

You can manage files and folders right in Planio as well. Within your project, navigate to the **Storage** tab. Inside, you'll be able to upload any number of files from your computer by clicking on the **Upload files** button or simply by dragging them from your desktop into the browser window.

You can also create folders as you would on your computer by clicking **New folder**.

To visualize the files and folders in Planio Storage, you can either select **Tree** or **Grid** from the options menu at the top right.

## WebDAV access

In case you don't wish to synchronize everything but access Planio Storage directly while online, you can use WebDAV.

You can find a project's **WebDAV URL** in the Storage section's sidebar on the right. To connect, simply use your Planio **login** and **password**.
