# File Storage System: Tray Native File Storage

We’ve introduced the **File System**, a fully managed file storage layer within Tray. It allows you to upload and store files directly in the Tray platform, then access them in your automations using the **File System connector**.

This unlocks critical capabilities for building **AI Agents** and advanced automations that rely on handling unstructured data - such as PDFs, HTML pages, transcripts, or other documents - retrieved from external systems. Instead of sending data to third-party storage, you can now keep everything within Tray, simplifying architecture and reducing integration overhead.

**What this enables:**

* Store and retrieve files as part of your projects
* Build AI Agents that use file-based data sources (e.g. PDFs or transcripts for context)
* Parse, enrich, or summarize file contents using AI

**Note:** The File System feature is not supported in Embedded solutions.
