# File Management

## 🗂️ Folder Structure

When you launch a machine on ThinkDiffusion, the platform automatically creates a **top-level folder** for that specific app. Each app has its own folder. You’ll see these in the file browser.

{% hint style="info" %}
File paths matter. Some workflows will fail if a model isn’t in the right subfolder.
{% endhint %}

#### Example top-level folders:

* `/comfy/` → for ComfyUI machines
* `/kohya/` → for LoRA training
* `/automatic1111/` → for A1111 sessions

Each of these app folders contains its own structure - and they’re separated so you don’t mix tools.

#### Inside each app folder, there are common subfolders:

 **`/logs/`**

> Where machine logs are stored. Each time you launch a machine, it writes logs here. File names match the machine ID in your URL.

 **`/models/`**

> Where model files are stored (e.g. LoRAs, checkpoints).\
> Depending on the app, these might be split into:

* `/models/checkpoints/`
* `/models/loras/`
* `/models/vae/`

**`/outputs/` or `/outputs/img2img/`**

> Saved images, video frames, or render results show up here - depending on the app.

 **`/input/` or `/images/`**

> Where uploaded images, masks, or reference files go. Some workflows look for inputs in specific folders.<br>

**Note:** *On free accounts, files are only accessible while a machine is running. Files are automatically deleted after 48 hours of inactivity. The 24/7 File Browser is available on TD Pro accounts.*

## 🗂️ 24/7 File Browser

* Your files persist between sessions
* You don’t need to launch a machine just to grab a LoRA
* You can prep and organize workflows without paying for idle GPU time
* You can debug logs even while your machine is launching

With the 24/7 File Browser:

{% hint style="info" %}
The 24/7 File Browser gives you full access to your files - without launching a machine. You can upload models, check logs, organize folders, and download outputs, all without paying for GPU time.\
\
&#x20;It’s only available with **ThinkDiffusion Pro**.
