Overview of the Joomla! Media Manager

The Media Manager is a useful file management tool, which is included in the Joomla! CMS.

The Media Manager tool is located within your administration area and can be accessed by using the "Quick Link" icon on your Control Panel, or by going to the Menu: Site|Media Manager:

One of the main purposes of the Media Manager is to easily allow site administrators, and frontend users with permissions, the ability to upload and manage files for their Joomla! site. In circumstances where you do not have FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access to your web server, the media manager might be the only available tool with which you can add new images, videos, documents, and other files to your website.
