# Configure MediaLab Connect as push destination

The push feature lets MediaLab send files to your computer automatically, based on rules you configure, no manual action needed.

## Steps

1. [Install the MediaLab Connect app](https://www.medialab.co/support/onboarding/desktop-app/installing-logging-ml-connect) (you do not have to login).

2. Log in to your MediaLab environment.

3. Navigate to **Settings → Cloud Connections** and click the green plus icon to add a new cloud destination.

4. In the dialog that opens, select **MediaLab Connect** as the protocol, enter a name for the cloud connection, and enable the option to create a push destination. Submit the form.

5. Click the `Open Connect` button to link the new cloud connection to your MediaLab Connect app. The Connect app will open with a configuration dialog. Choose the folder where you want to receive your downloads, then click `Confirm` to complete the setup.

6. The push destination is now created and ready to use for pushing files to your Connect app.

7. Navigate to **Settings → Push destinations** and click the cloud icon next to your Connect destination to set up automated rules for pushing files to your Connect app.
