I can't import files into my Drafts (Starter Plan)

I understand that we are allowed unlimited files in our Drafts section, even if on a Starter Plan.

But ever since the changes to how Drafts work, I can no longer import files directly into my Drafts section which I could do before by following the usual ‘+ Create new’ file flow. I get an error message saying I’ve reached my Starter Plan file limit.

Has anyone noticed this? I had been regularly importing files to my Drafts to record professional work in my personal Figma account for portfolio updating.

Thanks,

You probably tried to create new file in project, not the drafts. Can you provide a screenshot?

No I’m definitely in my Drafts section, hitting ‘+Create new’ button, see attached screenshot.

It seems now the import function is agnostic to the section you’re in, so just assumes you’re trying to import files into a project, hence the blocking message. This didn’t used to happen before. And it makes no sense from a user perspective because I can add a single Design file - and multiple times - while in my Drafts section with no issue, so there should be no restriction on importing any number of files instead.

I just tried to import new file in drafts in a free team that reached the limits — you are right, i couldn’t do it either. That’s strange. Seems like a bug to me.

But i found solution — create new free team without any files, import new file there and then move it wherever you want.
