**Notice: Egress Usage Applies** - Browsing or previewing files through the File Manager will count against your included egress quota. This includes actions such as viewing, downloading, or streaming files. If your egress usage exceeds your plan limit, services may be temporarily restricted as per your account terms.
{% endhint %}

The Preview Manager is used to preview and manage media files, images, and documents stored inside your buckets without downloading them.

To access the Preview Manager:

1. Log in to your **Zata.ai Dashboard**.
2. From the left sidebar menu, go to:\
   **Manage → Preview Manager**.

### Buckets Overview

Once you open the Preview Manager, all your available buckets are displayed.\
In your case, the buckets visible are:

* **preparcona**
* **prertest**

Each bucket shows basic information such as:

* Bucket name
* Region (Indore)
* Storage used
* Number of objects

These buckets act as containers where your files and objects are stored.
