# Find and preview media files in Infinity3

Locate an existing asset before uploading another copy or inserting the wrong version.

#### Before you start

Have part of the filename or the file type ready. Check that you are working in the correct Infinity3 account.

#### Find a file

1. Open **Media Storage**.
2. Enter a distinctive part of the name in **Search**.
3. Use **File Type** to narrow results to photos, videos, audio, documents, PDFs or another available category.
4. Adjust **Sort** if you need to compare names, sizes or recently modified files.
5. Switch between grid and list view to inspect the results.

Where available, use **Open containing folder** from the file menu to see its location.

#### Preview the result

Open the file’s menu and select **Preview**. Check that it contains the image, video or document you intended to use.

For images, check the dimensions and orientation against the destination. A portrait image may need a different crop from a website banner.

#### If the file is missing

Clear your search, return **File Type** to **All**, and check the selected source. If the file was deleted, review Trash where available.

#### Things to know

- File filters also appear in supported media-selection windows.
- A restrictive filter can hide a file that is still present.
- Preview availability depends on the format and browser.
- A filename alone does not confirm that the content is current.

If you still cannot locate a file, contact Infinity3 with its name and approximate upload date.
