# Referencing a storage bucket from Orchestrator

> Connect a UiPath App to an Orchestrator storage bucket for use with Upload file and Download file rules.

The **File uploader** control and the **Upload file to Storage bucket** rule can use files that are stored in a storage bucket in Orchestrator.

## Referencing a Storage Bucket from Orchestrator

Once a storage bucket has been created in **Orchestrator**, you can reference that storage bucket from an app. Storage buckets can be referenced only in **Upload file to Storage Bucket** and **Download file from Storage Bucket** rules.

The following example shows you how to add a storage bucket to an app:

1. From an existing app in App Studio, expand the dropdown menu at the right of the **Add control** button.
2. Select **Storage bucket**.
