# Media items

> This section is only valid if you are upgrading from an SXA version that is older than 1.7.1.

Media items are stored in the Sitecore Media Library. Go to *<Tenant>/<Site>/Media* for the virtual media folder for your SXA site. Media items cannot be stored directly under the Media item but must be stored in subfolders of the virtual media folder. Therefore, you must move all media items to one of the Media Library folders before upgrading.

To select the folders, go to *<Tenant>/<Site>/Media*, and navigate to the **Virtual** section.
