I am using Windows10 on a Microsoft Surface.  I cannot find the dropdown to add "local files" as an option.  All the options I have are playlists, artists, albums and podcasts.  How can I get to local files?

Hey there @PatsCats91,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

You first need to activate and set a location for local files from the app Settings:

1. Click Settings. 
2. Scroll to Local Files and switch Show Local Files on. 
3. Switch off any sources you don't want. 
4. Click ADD A SOURCE to select another folder. 

Music from that folder is now in Local Files in the menu on the left.

Hope this helps 🙂
