Import assets

Everything in the Asset Library gets there through the Import menu — or by dropping files onto the page.

Ways to import

1. From your computer

   Import → Your computer, or just drag files from your desktop onto the library. A Drop to import overlay appears while you drag, and files land in the folder you are currently viewing. Drop onto a folder card or a folder in the sidebar to put them straight in there instead.

2. From Google Drive

   Import → Google Drive opens the Drive picker. Connect your Google account the first time. Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are converted on the way in — to DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX — so what lands in the library is a real file.

3. From Dropbox
   Import → Dropbox opens the Dropbox chooser and pulls the file straight across.
4. From your clipboard

   Paste with Cmd/Ctrl + V anywhere in the library and whatever is on your clipboard is uploaded to the current folder. Screenshots are the common case — grab one and paste it straight in.

5. As a web link

   Import → Add a web link saves a URL as a Link asset. Useful for a Figma board, a shared drive folder, or a reference page you keep going back to. Links take no storage.

6. As an AI mockup

   Import → Create mockup hands off to the Bluprint agent to generate a thumbnail mockup, which is saved back into the library as a Mockup asset.

ZIP archives are unpacked, not stored

Drop a .zip on the library and Bluprint offers to extract it rather than keep the archive as a document.

The extraction dialog lets you choose whether to create a new folder named after the archive, or to unpack everything straight into the folder you are in. Folder structure inside the archive is preserved either way.

Limits: archives up to 256 MB, holding up to 2,000 files. Empty files and .DS_Store entries are skipped.

Watching an upload

Large files upload in the background — you can keep working, navigate to another folder, and come back. The File Uploads tray tracks everything in the bottom-right corner.

Each row shows the file name, its size, a progress bar, and a live status:

The buttons on each row pause, resume, retry, cancel, or dismiss that upload. Collapse the whole tray by clicking its header, or clear finished rows with Dismiss completed.

Resuming after a reload

If you close the tab or reload mid-upload, the transfer reappears asking you to select this file again to resume. Choose the same file from your computer and it continues from where it stopped — Bluprint checks the name, size, and modified date to be sure it is genuinely the same file.

Limits

Bluprint checks your remaining storage before an upload starts. If the batch would not fit, the storage manager opens instead of a failed upload — see Team Storage and Upgrades.
