# Files

Seliom provides you with a file repository to store all files in your organization. You can upload files to your repository with our public API.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Dont forget to include the **Authorization** and **X-Organization** headers in every request. They have been omitted from these endpoints for brevity. 
{% endhint %}
