# Archives

## Overview

Archives provides a way to store your files and make them available for download by your scripts and Users. Archives are organized by buckets and can be tied to any existing Bucket or File Share that may be currently integrated (for more on integrating new storage targets, see [storage documentation](https://docs.morpheusdata.com/en/latest/infrastructure/storage/storage.html)). Thus, storage buckets in public clouds, on networked storage, or even on the appliance itself may be used to host files.

## Archives List Page

To view or create Archives, navigate to Tools > Archives. At the Archives list page is a list of all currently-configured Archives. From the list view, the following details about each Archive are shown:

- **NAME:** The name for the Archive in HPE Morpheus Enterprise
- **BUCKET:** The integrated bucket or file share where files in this Archive are stored
- **# Files:** The number of files in the Archive
- **SIZE:** The total size of all files in the Archive
- **TENANTS:** When Archive visibility is set to Private, only the Tenants listed here have access to the Archive
- **VISIBILITY:** Public or Private, public Archives are available in all Tenants
