# Configure the Media Library for an SXA site

The *Media* folder in SXA sites (`sitecore/Content/<site collection>/<site>/Media`) is a scoped view of the Media Library folders available for the site. This view lets you determine which media items are available for your content editors for this particular site. This means that content editors can select media items that are relevant for the site rather than having to search through the complete Sitecore Media Library.

By default, when you add a site using the Site creation wizard, the following Media Library folders are added to the site's *Media* folder:

- The *virtual* folder on a site level (`sitecore/Content/<site collection>/<site>/Media`) by default contains two folders:
    - **Site folder** - contains the items available for this site only.
    - **Shared folder** - contains the items available for all sites within the site collection.
- The actual folder on the Media Library level: `sitecore/Media Library/Project/<site collection>`. You can upload images here.

You can also make other folders from the Sitecore Media Library available to the content editors.

To add Media Library folders to your site *Media* folder:

- In the Content Editor, navigate to `sitecore/Content/<site collection>/<site>/Media` and in the **Virtual** section in the **Additional Children** field, move the relevant folder to the **Selected** field and click **Save**.
