Tamaat keeps data in two places, and which one you want depends on what you're doing with it.
Files holds source files as they arrived — CSVs, workbooks, archives, rasters. Their job is to feed ETL flows.
Data Store holds datasets: tables you can search, filter, edit cell by cell, version, share, and export. This is where you go to actually look at your data.
Data moves one way. A file becomes a dataset when an ETL flow reads it, or when you bring it in through "Add dataset" — and a dataset becomes a layer when you put it on a map.

How it connects
Datasets go onto a map with "Open in Maps" or "Add to Project" — see Maps & Layers. Files become flow inputs through "Choose from Files" in an ETL reader — see Readers and Sources.
Is Data Store where I upload files?▾
Both panes take uploads, but they do different things with them. "Add dataset" in Data Store gives you a queryable table. Files keeps the file as a file, which is what you want when it's going to feed an ETL flow.
Where does imagery go?▾
Imagery comes in as a map layer, and shows up in Files as a read-only row so you can see where it came from.
