Is there a way to add a file and not a folder to a library I ask be cause I want to have some files in several different libraries but others are in the same folder that should be apart of different libraries.

You can only include folders in libraries, and that will import all the files in the folder to the library. There is no way to specify only a subset of the files.

However, to get a similar result, you can use symbolic links. In any of the folders of the library where you want the file to appear, create a symbolic link to the file. That will make the same file appear in both folders, and consequently in both libraries.

Use the following command at the command prompt:

mklink path_of_the_link path_of_the_original_file

Note that a link can have a different name than the original file, even though they both refer to the same physical file.
