Perplexity is retiring the organization file repository for Enterprise organizations. Files remaining in the repository after October 1, 2026 will be deleted. **Important:** Download your organization files by **October 1, 2026** to keep them. After downloading, add the files you want to continue using in Perplexity to a Project or use a supported File Connector. ## Why you need to take action ## Before you start Organization administrators should coordinate the migration. Other members can help if their role includes permission to download organization files or manage the destination Project. ## Download your organization files **Step 1** Sign in to Perplexity on the web. **Step 2** Open **Settings**, select **Organization**, then open **Files**. **Step 3** Select **Download your org files**. Perplexity prepares a ZIP archive and downloads it when it is ready. **Step 4** Open the archive and confirm the files are complete and readable. **Step 5** Store the downloaded copy in an approved location until the migration is complete. **Important:** Downloading the ZIP archive does not automatically add the files to a Project or connect them to Perplexity. Complete one of the following migration options if you want to continue using the files in Perplexity. ## Add downloaded files to a Project **Step 1** Create a Project or open an existing Project. **Step 2** Open the Project's **Files** tab. **Step 3** Upload the files you downloaded from the organization file repository. **Step 4** Confirm that all required files appear in the Project. **Step 5** Share the Project with the people who should be able to use the files. Files added to a Project are copies and follow that Project's permissions and retention behavior. Updating a file outside Perplexity does not automatically update the Project copy. ## Use a File Connector If the source files already live in a supported cloud-storage service, connect that service instead of maintaining static copies. Supported File Connectors include Google Drive and Microsoft 365 (SharePoint and OneDrive). **Step 1** Open **Plugins** in the sidebar (or **Customize → Connectors** if you don't see Plugins yet). **Step 2** Find the service you want to use on **Discover** or by search, then select **Connect**. **Step 3** Sign in to the service and review the requested permissions. **Step 4** Return to the **Installed** tab and confirm that the service shows **Connected**. File Connectors use the permissions of the connected account. A person can search or open only content their connected account is authorized to access. If you import a connector file into a Project, the imported file becomes a separate copy and follows the Project's permissions and retention behavior. ## Choose the right migration option ## Verify the migration Keep the downloaded copy until your organization has confirmed that the migration is complete. ## Frequently asked questions > [accordion] What happens after October 1, 2026? > > Files remaining in the organization file repository after October 1, 2026 will be deleted. Download every file your organization needs before the deadline. > [accordion] Does this affect files in Projects? > > No. Project files are separate from the organization file repository and continue to follow their Project's permissions and retention behavior. > [accordion] Does this affect files in connected services? > > No. Files remain in their source service. Their availability in Perplexity depends on the File Connector and the connected account's permissions. > [accordion] Do I need to take action if my organization does not use organization files? > > No. You do not need to take action if the organization file repository does not contain files your organization needs to keep. > [accordion] Does downloading a file keep it available as a source in Perplexity? > > No. Downloading preserves a copy outside the organization file repository. To continue using the file in Perplexity, add it to a Project or use a supported File Connector. > [accordion] Who should move the files? > > Organization administrators should coordinate the migration. Members with permission to download organization files or manage the destination Project can also help. > [accordion] What if I cannot download the files? > > Ask an organization administrator to confirm that your role includes the **Download files** permission.
