Core concepts

 
 ## Files stay on your computer
 
-Claude reads and writes files in place, in the folders you grant. Anthropic doesn't host or store your files; file content that Claude reads to answer a prompt is sent to Anthropic's API as part of that conversation and handled under Anthropic's standard retention policy. If you sign in to Claude Science on a different computer, your files, artifacts, and conversation history don't follow you there. See [Use Claude Science on more than one computer](/docs/claude-science/multiple-computers) for what your account does carry between computers.

 The one exception to working in place is **Attach files** in the composer: attached files are copied into the application's local data folder so they stay with the conversation.
