# Import
When using Cubox for the first time, you can import the browser bookmarks or the data of other read-it-later apps to your Cubox account through the Netscape HTML format.
Go to Cubox Preferences > Import & Export > Select File > Start Importing。

The data sources currently supported for import are Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Pinboard, Pocket, and Instapaper. You can also try to import bookmark formats that are not supported above, but if the format is special, you may encounter some import failures.
Now you start importing. It will take a few minutes, maximum of 10 minutes to parse the content in the cloud, and you can do others during the process. After the import is completed, it may take a long time in the background to perform work such as article parsing (opens new window), content snapshot (opens new window) archiving, and cover image capture.
If it is listed in the sources supported by Cubox, but cannot be imported successfully, please contact hi@cubox.cc
