# importFromFiles

A Boolean value that indicates whether to import browser data from files.

```
var importFromFiles: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

If the value of this property is `false`, the system retrieves browsing data from the other browser and provides the data to your app by invoking your handler for the [`BEBrowserDataImportManager`](/documentation/BrowserKit/BEBrowserDataImportManager) class’s [`userActivityType`](/documentation/BrowserKit/BEBrowserDataImportManager/userActivityType-35jes).

If the value of this property is `true`, the system cancels the browser-to-browser data transfer, and your app imports the browsing data from disk according to your app’s unique workflow.
