The document will be created in whichever folder you were in the when you clicked the Import button, but you can always move a script between folders.
❗️Currently, you can only import Final Draft (.fdx) files❗️
If you have a other file types such as Word (.doc), PDF, Fountain or text (.txt), create a new blank document in Scripto, and then copy/paste the text of your script into Scripto.
Some file types will paste in with the block types set quite accurately and won't require much cleanup. Other file types will not paste cleanly so you'll have to go through the document and set the type (eg. Dialogue, Parenthetical, Character) on each block of text.
