My Files is an online repository for files you are using or intend to use in your projects.

• Upload files from your computer to your Lulu account.
• View files by type or project.
• Use the files in your book, photo book, and CD/DVD projects.

Note: Uploaded files not associated with a project remain in My Files for 21 days, then are removed automatically.

To use My Files in your book project. During the second step, Choose & Arrange Your Files, click the Choose from My Lulu Files link under the Choose Files title to see the list of files you already uploaded.

When you add files to your project in the publishing wizard, they automatically appear in My Files.

To use My Files in your photo book project. When you use Lulu Studio™ to produce a photo book, you may include images that you previously uploaded to your account.
