# Assets

> Upload, manage, and import assets with the Python SDK.

Use these methods to upload, manage, and import assets. Both Models and Agents use assets, so you upload a file once.

#### [Upload files](/v1.3/sdk-reference/python/upload-files)

Upload videos, images, audio, and documents.

#### [Manage assets](/v1.3/sdk-reference/python/manage-assets)

Retrieve assets, manage user-defined metadata, and retrieve transcriptions.

#### [Data connectors](/v1.3/sdk-reference/python/data-connectors)

Import files from your users' Google Drive accounts as assets.
