At the top of that column with the Binaries, there should be a double arrow you can click to Combine & Transform those files. That will create new queries (and a function) you can use to transform an example file that will be applied to all the files.
Or, if you know what type of files they are, you can add a custom column with the appropriate function (e.g., Excel.Workbook(), Csv.Document(), etc) to open them.
