# Get Upload URL

> Get a presigned URL for direct upload to GCS.

This endpoint returns a presigned URL for uploading the entire filesystem archive directly to storage.

Use it when you already have a prepared compressed archive, typically `tar.zst`, and want to upload that archive without proxying the bytes through the Terminal Use API.

## What This Endpoint Is For

* whole-filesystem upload
* direct-to-storage archive transfer
* flows implemented by `tu fs push` and the Python ADK sync internals

## What This Endpoint Is Not For

* uploading one file by relative path
* replacing `uploadFile`
* a dedicated CLI command

For one-file writes, use [Upload File](/api-reference/filesystems/upload-file).

For a higher-level CLI experience, use `tu fs push`.
