# Files
The Files page is Cherry Studio's**central repository for attachments** — Images, PDFs, and documents dragged into chats, images generated in drawing, and resources 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'.
## Enter the Files page
Top Tab `+` → **Launcher** → click `Files`.
Files page: categorized by type on the left, sorting and select all / multi-select at the top
## What can you do here
* **Filter by type**: The four categories on the left — `Documentation`、`Images`、`Text`、`All files`
* **Sort**: Top `Creation time` / `Size` / `File name` Three sorting methods
* **Batch operations**: Top right `Select all` Together with the checkbox `⋯` use the menu for batch delete / download
* **Preview**: Click a file to preview directly (supported formats such as images, PDFs, etc.)
* **Download to local**: Right-click → Download, you can choose the save location
* **Delete**: Right-click → Delete (cannot be recovered after deletion, please confirm)
* **Open containing location**: Right-click → Show in file manager (macOS = Finder, Windows = Explorer)
## Where are the files stored?
Cherry Studio stores all attachments in the local application's data directory. Specific path:
* **macOS**:`~/Library/Application Support/CherryStudio`
* **Windows**:`%APPDATA%\CherryStudio`
* **Linux**:`~/.config/CherryStudio`
Want to switch to another drive? See [Change storage location](/docs/en-us/pre-basic/personalization-settings/storage.md).
## Tips and tricks
* Conversations / knowledge bases that aren't used for a long time will accumulate more and more files; regularly cleaning them up here can save a lot of disk space
* Important files are recommended to be backed up to a cloud drive at the same time (WebDAV / S3, etc.), see [Data settings](/docs/en-us/pre-basic/data-settings.md)
* Garbled file name? It's usually an encoding issue when dragged in from outside; it's recommended to rename it before use

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.cherryai.com.cn/docs/en-us/cherry-studio/preview/files.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
