# Track uploads & downloads

> Follow your transfers in the Transfer tracker: live progress, status filtering, and history for browser, desktop, and CLI uploads and downloads.

Every upload and download in Dataerai is a **transfer**. The **Transfer tracker** gives you one place to watch transfers in flight and review what's already finished — whether they came from the browser, the [desktop app, or the CLI](/data/desktop-and-cli).

## Open the Transfer tracker

Open the **Transfer tracker** from the top of the app. It lists your transfers newest-first, grouped by day, and updates **live** as transfers progress — no refresh needed.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the tracker from the top bar">
    Click the **Transfer tracker** icon in the top navigation bar.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch your transfers">
    The panel lists transfers newest-first, grouped by day, with search and sort.

## Transfer status

Both **uploads** and **downloads** appear in the tracker. Downloading an asset's content or a whole collection (assembled into a zip) shows up as a transfer row with live progress, right alongside your uploads.

Each transfer is in one of three states:

| Status         | Meaning                                                           |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **In process** | Queued or actively transferring.                                  |
| **Completed**  | All bytes transferred and verified.                               |
| **Failed**     | The transfer errored or its credentials expired before finishing. |

</Frame>

<Note>
  Browser uploads resume **automatically** and are integrity-checked as they go — an interrupted upload continues rather than starting over. The browser has no manual pause control; you can cancel an in-progress transfer with the **×** button. For pause, resume, and the highest throughput on large or bulk transfers, use the [desktop app and CLI](/data/desktop-and-cli).
</Note>

## Find a transfer

When the list gets long, narrow it down:

* **Search** by name.
* **Filter** by status (In process / Completed / Failed), **project**, or **repository**.
* **Sort** by date or other fields.

Active **storage migrations** also appear in the tracker. A migration is Dataerai copying or moving an asset's content between [repositories or allocations](/account/storage) — for example, when an admin changes where a project's data is stored. The row shows the source and destination and its progress, so you can see your data is being relocated without any action on your part.
