.idea files in intellij

I was wondering why this folder is included in all projects that I make in intellij IDE? I've made a small bootstrap project that I would like to upload on a server. When I do, will these files also be uploaded. On my machine the files are hidden (mac), unless I explicitly make them visible (the entire folder is hidden).

Here is a screenshot of my project:

So there are a few xml files and one .name txt file.

This folder contains all the files for the project specific configurations.

Check which scope you defined above the tree files:

When Project Files is selected, all the folder will be displayed. Select Project will automatically hide the .idea folder.

If you use a version control soft, this folder is automatically excluded.

EDIT: You can exclude files you'll upload to the server in Project Settings->Deployment->Options:

I think the .idea folder is excluded by default. You need this folder locally to open you PHPStorm project correctly, but you don't need it on your web server.
