# Folder Block

> Group multiple files together for organized document collections

## Overview

The Folder Block is a container block that holds multiple files on the canvas. When you need to work with a collection of documents — meeting notes, research papers, financial statements, etc. — the Folder Block groups them together. Agents can then use the [Folder Synthesis Block](/app/blocks/folder-synthesis-block) to query across all files in the folder.

## How to Use

1. **Add a Folder Block** — Click on the canvas → Select "Folder Block," or drag a folder from your computer onto the canvas
2. **Add files** — Drag and drop files into the folder, or upload them directly
3. **Organize your collection** — Group related documents together
4. **Connect downstream** — Link the Folder Block to a [Folder Synthesis Block](/app/blocks/folder-synthesis-block) to run queries across all files, or connect directly to Chat, Prompt, Deep Research, or other blocks that should use the folder as a source

## Example Use Cases

* **Meeting notes collection** — Group all meeting notes for a project, then synthesize action items across all of them
* **Research papers** — Collect research papers on a topic for cross-document analysis and theme extraction
* **Financial statements** — Group quarterly reports for trend analysis across periods
* **Customer feedback** — Collect survey responses or support tickets for pattern identification
* **Legal documents** — Group contracts or policy documents for compliance review
* **Due diligence** — Folder of PDFs → Deep Research → executive summary
* **RFP response** — Folder of requirements + past answers → Memo or Document output
