# Upload Zip File

`POST /files`

Uploads an archive containing source files in `.zip` format, which will be extracted and used during project creation.

Status of the upload operation can be tracked using the [Poll Upload Zip File](#/operations/PollUploadZipFile) endpoint.

Once this Upload Zip File 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.


Consider the [file and project size limit](https://docs.rws.com/791595/815967/trados-enterprise---accelerate/file-and-project-size-limit) when uploading files.
