# File upload

You can integrate data from your local system through uploading any delimited text files (.csv, .txt).

## Adding a file upload data source

To upload your data by file:

1. Click **\+ New Data Source**.

   > **Note**
   >
   > You can only upload delimited text files (.csv, .txt).
2. Name the data source, then click **Create**.
3. **Select file** or drag and drop. The file is uploaded and a progress bar displays.
4. File settings are automatically detected, but you can manually override them. Choose **Delimiter**, **Encloser**, **File type**, and **Header row** as required. Any changes are reflected in the Data Preview.
5. If you are happy with the presentation, select **Import** to add the data to Orbit Connect as a data source.
6. The import begins and the logs update automatically. A message displays when the import is complete.
7. You can now add a table by clicking **\+ New Table**.
