# Search for Files to Attach to a Chatter Feed

From the file selector, you can see a list of Salesforce files that you own and have access to.

In Salesforce Classic, click **File** above the feed, and then select a file from Salesforce. In Lightning Experience, click the paperclip icon below the post to open the Select File window.

From the file selector, you can see and search within a selection of files by clicking a filter on the sidebar.

- The files that are listed come from libraries that you're a member of where you have the permission Post Content to Chatter Feeds or Manage Library selected in your library permission definition.

1. Optionally, on the **Files** tab click a filter on the sidebar to restrict your search to a specific set of files.
2. Enter your search terms in the search box. You can search by file name, description, owner, type, or content.
3. To see a filtered list of all relevant files based on your search terms, click **Search**.

The Select a File to Attach list doesn't include:

- Documents from the Documents tab.
- Attachments from the Notes and Attachments related list.
- Links attached to posts in Chatter
- Files from your personal library
