Files
The Files page is Cherry Studio's central repository for attachments — images, PDFs, and documents dragged into chats, images generated in drawing, and materials imported into the knowledge base can all be viewed and managed here in one place.
You can think of it as Cherry Studio's internal "My Computer."
Go to the Files page
The top Tab's + → [Launchpad] → click [Files].
Files page: categorized by type on the left, sorting and select all / multi-select at the top
What you can do here
Filter by type: categorized by type on the left — Documentation,Image,Text,Audio,Video,Other,All files
Sort: the top supports File name / Size / Type / Modification time four sorting options
Batch operations: top right Select all with checkboxes ⋯ use the menu for batch deletion
Upload: drag files directly into the page to upload, or click Upload file
Preview: click a file to preview directly (supported formats such as images and PDFs)
Rename: right-click → rename
Delete: right-click → delete; deleted files will go to Recycle Bin(see details below)
Open containing location: right-click → [Open containing folder] (macOS = Finder, Windows = File Explorer)
If a file is marked as missing, it means its local original file has been moved or deleted; such files can only be located or their records removed from the library.
Recycle Bin
After deleting a file, it won't disappear immediately; it first goes to the [Recycle Bin]. In the Recycle Bin, you can:
Restore: put mistakenly deleted files back where they were
Permanently delete: completely remove a specific file
Empty Recycle Bin: permanently delete all files in the Recycle Bin at once
Recycle Bin: restore, permanently delete, or empty all
Permanent deletion cannot be undone. Deleting a file will also remove its references in all related messages, so confirm before proceeding.
Where are files stored?
Cherry Studio stores all attachments in the local application data directory. Specific paths:
Conversations / knowledge bases that aren't used for a long time will accumulate more and more files; cleaning them up here regularly can save a lot of disk space
Important files are recommended to be backed up to cloud storage as well (WebDAV / S3, etc.); see Data Settings
Garbled file names? Usually it's an encoding issue when dragging in from outside; it's recommended to rename them first before using
