# Anaconda Projects

Anaconda's cloud storage solution provides you with greater access to your files across your workspace. By securely uploading your CSVs, notebook files, code snippets, and more to projects in Anaconda's cloud storage, you can access them from any machine with Excel and internet access.
## What are projects?
You can think of projects as folders for storing your data files, which allow you to:
* Access your stored `.csv` files or code snippets from either Anaconda Notebooks or [Excel](/tools/excel/key-features)
* Keep related `.csv` and `.ipynb` files organized
* Execute bulk actions, such as uploading, downloading, and deleting files
For example, you can create a `.csv` file in Excel, [upload the file to Anaconda's cloud storage](/tools/excel/toolbox/data), then pull that `.csv` data directly into a notebook in Anaconda Notebooks!
## Creating a project
Create a project using the following steps:
1. Open Anaconda Toolbox.
2. Click **New**.
3. Select *New Project*.
4. Enter a unique title for your project.
5. Select a [runtime](/tools/anaconda-notebooks/notebook-runtimes) for your project from the **Environment Location** dropdown.
6. Upload files to your project, or transfer files already saved in Anaconda's cloud storage.
You can upload any file type to your project, but the best options are `.csv` and `.ipynb` files under 100MB.
7. Click **Create Project**. Your project appears under **Manage Projects**.
Save your new project and files by [pushing your project](#syncing-projects-to-anacondas-cloud-storage) to Anaconda's cloud storage.
## Uploading files to a project
Add files to a project using the following steps:
1. Open Anaconda Toolbox.
2. Under **Projects**, click **Manage Projects**.
3. Click actions beside the project, then click *Upload*.
4. Upload files to your project, or transfer files already saved in Anaconda's cloud storage.
5. Click **Upload to Project**.
The file(s) appear in the project.
## Sharing a project
You can share projects you own with other users in your organizations or with your entire organization.
To share projects with other users in your organizations, follow these steps:
1. Under **Projects**, click **Manage Projects**.
2. Click actions beside the project you want to share, then click *Share*.
3. In the Invite dialog, select your organization from the dropdown under **Organization access**.
Sharing projects with other users is only possible through a shared organization. To share with someone who is not a member of your organization, create a new organization for that user to join by clicking **Create new organization** beneath the organizations dropdown.
4. Under **Share with individuals in your org**, enter the email of the user(s) you want to share the project with, select their [permission level](#permissions), then click **Invite**.
5. Select **Only invited users**.
6. Click **Update Permissions**.
The user(s) then receive an email notifying them of the update to their permission level on your project and a link to Anaconda Notebooks.
To share projects with an entire organization, follow these steps:
1. Under **Projects**, click **Manage Projects**.
2. Click actions beside the project you want to share, then click *Share*.
3. In the Invite dialog, select your organization from the dropdown under **Organization access**.
4. Select **Entire organization**, then select the [permission level](#permissions) for the organization members.
5. Click **Update Permissions**.
Organization members then receive an email notifying them of the update to their permission level on your project and a link to Anaconda Notebooks.
To remove access for an entire organization, select **Only invited users**, then click **Update Permissions**.
### Permissions
Access to projects and the actions you can perform in them are determined by your permission level for the project. By default, you as the owner of your project have admin permissions; for projects owned by an organization, the admins of that organization have admin permissions for that project.
| Permission level | Actions |
| :--------------- | :------------------------------------------ |
| Reader | View, download |
| Writer | View, download, edit, upload |
| Admin | View, download, edit, upload, share, delete |
## Creating a new notebook
Begin creating a new notebook from either the home page or directly in a project from **Manage Projects**:
1. Click **New**.
2. Select *New Notebook*.
3. Enter a unique name for your notebook and select a project to store your notebook in.
1. Click actions beside the project where you want to create the new notebook.
2. Select *New Notebook*.
3. Enter a unique name for your notebook.
4. Click **Create Notebook**. Your new notebook opens.
5. Select the runtime for your notebook in the **Assign a Runtime** dialog, then click **Assign**.
To always use the same runtime and prevent the dialog from appearing when creating a notebook, select the checkbox beside **Always start the preferred runtime**.
To remove a project's preferred runtime, open an associated notebook, click the runtime in the top-right corner, and clear **Always start the preferred runtime**. Alternatively, go to **Settings**, select *Settings Editor*, select *Notebook* from the left sidebar, and clear **Automatically Start Preferred Kernel**.
You can now begin working in your new notebook.
Syncing projects to Anaconda's cloud storage
While it's best practice to save your work as you go, an extra step is required to ensure your project files are securely uploaded to the cloud for easy retrieval and use on other machines and software.
Save a project to Anaconda's cloud storage by clicking **Save project to the cloud** beside the project title.
Sync your local projects with those stored on Anaconda's cloud storage by clicking **Refresh Project** beside the project title.
Refreshing your project(s) will synchronize your local files with those stored on Anaconda's cloud storage, *overwriting your local project files*. Make sure to save your projects to the cloud before refreshing to avoid losing any progress.
Refresh all projects at once by clicking **Projects**.
