Search & Filters
Media Storage provides a search bar, filter panel, and sort controls to help you locate files quickly — even across large libraries with nested folders.
Searching for Files
Type in the Search input at the top of the dashboard. Results update as you type, matching file and folder names.
The search bar filters the grid in real time as you type.
Filtering by File Type
Click the Filter icon next to the search bar to open the filter panel. You can filter by:
- File type — Images, Documents, Videos, Audio, Other
- File name — Keyword match
- File size — Minimum and maximum size range
- Date modified — Date range picker
Select one or more file types and set date or size ranges to narrow your results.
Apply filters and the grid updates to show only matching files.
Sorting Files
Click the Sort control in the top bar to change the sort order. Available sort options:
| Sort Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Name (A–Z) | Alphabetical ascending |
| Name (Z–A) | Alphabetical descending |
| Size (Smallest) | Smallest files first |
| Size (Largest) | Largest files first |
| Date Modified (Newest) | Most recently modified first |
| Date Modified (Oldest) | Oldest modifications first |
Select a sort option to reorder the file grid.
Navigating Folders While Filtering
Search and filter results can be scoped to the current folder or the entire library. When you are inside a folder, the search defaults to that folder. To search globally across all folders, clear the folder selection in the sidebar before searching.
Clearing Filters
Click Clear Filters or remove individual filter values to reset the grid back to the full file list.
