Import files following these steps:

To access your cloud drives, tap the connections icon in the main toolbar.
Tap the service from which you want to import files.
From the cloud drive screen, identify your file and tap Import.

The import option only shows for files compatible with Kindle. If your file is in a folder, open the folder to import the file.

You can filter by file type on Google Drive. Microsoft OneDrive doesn’t offer the option to filter files currently. You can also use the search bar at the top to locate specific files. Sort options are available through default, filter, and search results lists.

Importing may take up to a few minutes to convert to Kindle format.

You can preview compatible files and choose to import from the preview screen:

Long-press on a file to open a 1-page read-only view.
Tap Import and immediately start importing the file using your default import settings.
- Alternatively, long-press on Import to rename the file, select a Workspace location, and select the format for Word files before importing.

Already imported files show the status Open file. To view recent files imported and their status, access your import history by tapping the clock icon

in the top toolbar. You can also clear your import history from this page and the main browser page for cloud drive.

Note: When closing the cloud drive, the import status on the files you've already imported refreshes back to Import in case you'd like to import again.

Your in-progress and completed imports continue to show in the import history menu. Import History only shows the last 50 files imported within the last 24 hours.
