# Poll Upload Zip File

`GET /files/{fileId}`

Monitors the unzipping operation for a previously uploaded archive and retrieves details about the extracted files.

Once the [Upload Zip File](#/operations/UploadZipFile) operation has finished extracting the files, they can be added to the desired project using the [Attach Source Files](#/operations/AddSourceFiles) endpoint.
 Alternatively, they can be used to [Request File Analysis](#/operations/RequestFileAnalysis) details like word counts and estimated costs.
