Uploads

Some documents aren't in a connected tool: a signed PDF, an exported deck, a contract someone emailed you. Upload them.

Sync a folder from your computer

Sources → Local Files → Select folder. Choose a folder; Vythos scans it, reads every supported file, and reports anything it skipped and why.

Come back later and select the same folder, and only what changed is uploaded again — Vythos remembers which files it has seen and how big they were.

Chrome or Edge only

Selecting a folder uses a browser feature that only Chromium browsers support. In Safari or Firefox the page says so. Everything else in Vythos works in any modern browser.

Upload a single document

During setup, the first rule step takes one file and walks you straight into adding it as a rule. Afterwards, upload from Local Files and then add the document on the Playbook page.

Making an uploaded document a rule

Playbook → Add rule → Choose from your sources → Your uploads. Search by name; everything you've uploaded is there.

Keeping an uploaded rule current

Upload the file again, under the same name. The new text becomes the rule's next version, immediately — there's no waiting, because you've just handed Vythos the new document.

Two things to know:

• The name is the identity. rate-card.pdf uploaded again updates the rule; rate-card-v2.pdf is a different document. To swap to a differently-named file, add it and tick replaces.
• Uploads are personal. If a colleague uploads a file with the same name, it's their document in their memory. It cannot overwrite your rule.

A document that lives in Drive or Notion is better added from there — then it updates when you edit it, with nothing to remember.

What can be uploaded

Every format in the file formats list: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Markdown, plain text, CSV, TSV, HTML, JSON and RTF.

A file Vythos can't read is named with the reason rather than silently dropped — legacy .doc, .xls and .ppt, Pages, Numbers and Keynote files, images, video, audio and archives.

Single documents during setup are limited to 20 MB. A scanned PDF — pictures of pages with no text layer — has nothing to read; re-export it from the original.

Where uploads go

Into your own memory, and nowhere else. Your colleagues can't search your uploads, and neither can the workspace owner. Making one a rule is what makes its content available to the people whose access covers that category.
