# Create default folder for media

In the Shopware 6 Media Manager, you will usually find various **default folder**s for different media types. If one or more of these folders are missing, you can easily create them yourself.

## Create default folder for CMS media

1. **Go to Media Management** in Admin under **Content > Media**. (1) (2)
2. Click on **"Add new folder"** in the top right-hand corner. (3)
3. Give the folder a suitable **name** (e.g. "CMS Media").
4. Select the **"Settings"** option in the context menu ![](/files/vx6CtU2XNB8y5HcGXxH5) of the new folder. (4) (5)
5. In the **"Default media location for"** field, select for which kind of media the folder should be used – e.g. **"cms\_page (Layout)"**. (6)
6. Save the change. (7)

The new folder will now be used automatically for the selected block – e.g. when uploading images in CMS elements.
