# Upload projects

There are three main methods to upload projects to 3S Cloud Render Farm: directly uploading on our **Web App** or using our **3S Cloud Desktop App.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note**:

1. Please upload **.zip files**; **other archived files haven't been supported** yet.
2. To avoid missing assets, we recommend simulating the local path before uploading your projects. You can find the instructions in [our tips for each software](https://docs.3scloud.io/3s-cloud-render-farm/tips).
   {% endhint %}

After ensuring you followed the previous instructions, let's move on to the next steps.

### **Method 1**: Web App

On the [Web App](https://console.3sfarm.io/), 

1. Click the **Launch Render** button

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note:

* For software like Houdini, Cinema 4D (C4D), 3ds Max, and Maya, make sure to select "**Keep Local Path**" before uploading.
* If there are files or folders you do not want to upload, you can exclude them by entering their names and clicking "Add." For example:
  * To exclude folder "A," enter: A/
  * To exclude file "B," enter: B
