## Overview
|
|
|
|
You can upload any file type to Datasquirel media storage through the admin panel. Uploaded images are automatically given a thumbnail. All uploaded files are served by a dedicated static file server.
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
### 1. Open the Media Page
|
|
|
|
Click **Media** in the admin panel sidebar to open the media management page.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Select or Create a Folder
|
|
|
|
Choose an existing folder from the list or create a new one by clicking **Add Folder**. Folders keep your files organized and control public/private access at the folder level.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Open a Folder
|
|
|
|
Click on a folder to open it and see its files.
|
|
|
|
<DocsImg
|
|
alt="Media Storage"
|
|
srcLight="/images/screenshots/media-storage-2-light.webp"
|
|
srcDark="/images/screenshots/media-storage-2-dark.webp"
|
|
/>
|
|
|
|
### 4. Upload a File
|
|
|
|
Click **Upload** (or drag and drop a file into the folder view). You can upload multiple files at once.
|
|
|
|
Supported file types include images (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, SVG), documents (PDF), and any other file type.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Copy the File URL
|
|
|
|
Once uploaded, the file appears in the folder. Click on a file to copy its URL. For public folders, this URL can be used directly in your application.
|
|
|
|
## Uploading via the API
|
|
|
|
You can also upload files programmatically using the media API. See [API Reference → Media → POST](/docs/api-reference/media/post) for details.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Image thumbnails are generated automatically on upload.
|
|
- File names are stored as uploaded. Avoid special characters in file names.
|
|
- To move a file to a different folder, delete it and re-upload it to the target folder.
|
|
- Deleting a folder deletes all files inside it permanently.
