Upload Files

You can manually upload individual files to a project, subject, session, or acquisition in Flywheel. This allows you to add resources for your project as well manually create new sessions and acquisitions one-by-one.

If you're looking to import large numbers of files and images, consider using Bulk Import instead.

Limitations

No De-Identification

The upload methods in this article do not de-identify data. If you need to de-identify images, use the legacy DICOM web uploader or command-line Interface (CLI).

Not Used for De-ID Profiles

Use one of these supported methods if you need to upload a site, group, or project de-ID profile.
