To import files from local disks or network drives, click the 
Add button in the Toolbar and select Import Files, or go to File → Import → Files.... This will open up a window where you can either select the file format or let Geneious autodetect the format. The different file formats that Geneious can import are described in detail in the next section.
Files can also be dragged and dropped from your hard drive directly into Geneious and the file type will automatically be determined.
Files imported from disk are imported directly into the currently selected local folder within Geneious. If no folder is selected, you will be prompted to choose a folder during the import.
