Files allow users to import or create files of various types in their workspace. Files can be scripts to work with data, documents, images etc. Files can be created and accessed in the Files tab and can be any type of file, including:
- SQL (.sql)
- source code
- R files (.r)
- LaTeX markup (.rwn)
- archives (.zip, 7z, .gz)
- plain text (.txt)
- image files (.jpeg, .png)
- audio files (.wav)

Files can be both uploaded and downloaded, and can be renamed once they are in a workspace. You can also create files directly within the workspace, using the built-in editor.
