# File Picker

Pick files with ease.&#x20;

Select uploaded Arweave files for metadata/manifest creation, streamlining workflows.

## No More Forgetting

Instead of having to keep track of all the tx\_ids and urls for all the files you've uploaded, or going back and forth from ArDrive to the metadata form, you can just use The File Picker.  Open it up, click the files and be good.

## User Friendly

The File Picker is very user friendly.  It works differently depending on the situation.

In the image below it's looking for metadata files. It has an option to show uploaded or local metadata.  Local metadata files haven't been uploaded yet, and were recently created with The Metadata Maker.  Uploaded files are exactly that, files on Arweave.

You can click to group the metadata files by timestamp so you can add all of the rarities for one track at the same time. &#x20;

The order you click the files matters because they will be imported in that order. You can even click the arrow at the bottom to open a drawer that lets you rearrange the list and drag up and down the pieces if you need to.&#x20;

There's a lot of things that go into the UI and functionality of The File Picker so it's easy and versatile.
