Does adding a file upload it?

No. Adding a reference file to the Mac workspace does not automatically upload it or make it a shared memory.

• Storage, selection for a task and cloud processing are separate choices. A conversation receives supported content you have selected within that task’s scope.
• You can keep a project brief locally, then choose an appropriate extract for a specific comparison.
• Review selected material before sending and choose the processing mode. Manage reference files separately from memories and conversation records.
• Supported formats and extraction limits vary. Removing a local file does not recall a copy already sent elsewhere or erase separate backups.
