Why can't I find the files tab in my settings?

Topic summary

Shopify recently relocated the Files tab from its previous position in Settings (third from bottom).

New Location:

  • Files can now be found under the Content tab in the main Shopify Dashboard (left sidebar)
  • No longer appears within the Settings menu itself

Resolution:
Multiple users confirmed the new location with screenshots, helping others who spent considerable time searching for the moved feature. The issue was resolved once participants understood this was an intentional platform update rather than a technical problem.

Thank you so so so much. I have spent nearly an hour trying to figure this out. I owe you a coffee at least. Thanks!
