Why won't Godot import from my files?

Every time I try to take a file to my Godot folder it won’t work, nothing happens.

How do you take it? Do you have a problem with copying the file to the Godot folder, or the file is there but you somehow can’t use it in Godot? What kind of file is it, is it a problem with every kind of file, or just with one?

I am having trouble with copying the file to Godot and it is happening to all of my files and i have used obj and gtlf

interesting, and if you try pasting the file to the folder with the file manager? You can right click in Godot and have something like open in file manager, and try pasting it there.

This is the closest I have been, so thank you for that, but it wouldn’t go in the game, the file is an animated model and the picture of the model showed on the right side, but again it won’t go in the game.

if you don’t know what I was talking about when I was referring to the “right side” it was the inspector

well I never worked with 3d models so I don’t know how it works, but if you haven’t seen this page, then you may find some information there on what to do: Importing 3D scenes — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English

but what you could try doing is drag-and-dropping the file from the bottom left (file dialog) into the 3d scene, that works with 2d images
