# File Sharing
<figure><img src="/img/docs/media-type-explore.png" alt=""/><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
## Share Media, Files and Digital Books
You can use your Butter Box to share media, files, and digital books. To display additional content in your portal, connect a USB drive containing the information you want to share.
If you’d like more control over how your content is displayed, you can build a **static website** and share it through the Butter Box. Learn more in the [Content Packs](../content-packs/) section.
### Add files to your USB Drive
Place individual files directly in the **main directory** (root) of your USB drive. Or, create folders to organize your files (eg. "Books", "Music", "Reports)

**Things to Know**
* The **folder names you use** on your USB drive will be shown in the Butter Box portal.
* Organizing content into folders makes it easier for others to browse and download.
### Connect to your Butter Box to view
Insert the USB drive into your Butter Box. After connecting your USB drive to the Raspberry Pi you will see the **Files** tile displayed when you open the Butter Box portal.

**Troubleshooting**
If you don’t see the **Files** tile, try the following actions:
* Remove the USB drive from the Butter Box. Then re-insert the USB drive.
* Turn on/off airplane mode. Reconnect Butter Box wifi.
* Refresh the browser page.
If you are still having trouble you may need to [Reformat Your USB Drive](../faq/how-to-reformat-your-usb-drive).
