Import files

Files can also be imported via the CSV importer. If the files are already accessible via the web, you can simply use this URL in the CSV file.

If the files are located locally on your computer, they must first be made available via a web server, since web browsers do not support direct access to files on your computer. For example, see this list of web servers: https://slashdot.org/software/p/Tiny-Web-Server/alternatives.
