>>>*# Question*
Hey good afternoon, flytepilots.
Was wondering if `ContainerTask` type tasks support `FlyteDirectory` as inputs and outputs already?
*# Answer*
Good afternoon! As of now, `ContainerTask` type tasks in Flyte do not fully support `FlyteDirectory` as inputs and outputs. There are known issues and limitations with handling `FlyteDirectory` in `ContainerTask`, particularly with the download and upload steps not correctly managing directories.

For example, according to <https://discuss.flyte.org/t/16714645/uh-is-it-true-that-i-can-t-use-flytedirectory-type-inputs-fo/|this discussion>, there are errors related to incorrect blob references when attempting to use `FlyteDirectory` with `ContainerTask`. Additionally, <https://discuss.flyte.org/t/8559447/has-anyone-done-flytedirectory-inputs-to-a-containertask-it-/|another thread> confirms that this is a known bug and is being tracked for a fix.

Would you like more details on potential workarounds or further information on this topic?
