How to get Project Files From CMS in Sitecore 8+

Sitecore hero image


What if you want to browse / download some files for your CMS application and you don't have access on the server
can we do this from CMS? Yes we can do 😃


There's more than one way to do this,
I will mention two ways here:



First way:


Go to this URL : YourInstanceUrl/sitecore/shell/default.aspx?xmlcontrol=FileExplorer

Note: In the versions prior to Sitecore 8 this link was in Desktop Module 

In this way you can browse / delete / deploy any files you want



Sitecore Explorer


Second way:

Go to your CMS >> Desktop >> Development Tools >>  Package Designer
Sitecore Desktop

>> Click on "Files Statically"
Sitecore Package Designer


>> You can choose the files you want in your package 
Sitecore Files Dialog
