# View, save, share, and delete

> Open one photo or video, keep it on your phone, or remove it

Tap a photo, a video, or a file in the Chest to open it. A video has a play control. A PDF opens as pages.

## How do I open a photo or video? <a href="#open-a-photo-or-video" id="open-a-photo-or-video" />

Tap the item in **All**, **Photos**, or **Videos**. Swipe to move to the next one.

## How do I read the details? <a href="#read-the-details" id="read-the-details" />

Tap **Info**. The sheet lists **Name**, **Type**, **Size**, **Taken**, **Added**, and **Added by**.

If OurChest does not know one of those, it shows **Unknown**.

## How do I save it to my phone? <a href="#save-to-my-phone" id="save-to-my-phone" />

On a photo or a video, tap **Save to device**. OurChest keeps that file on your phone. A PDF does not have **Save to device**. It opens as pages you can read.

If the original does not come down, the screen says **The original file did not download.** If it cannot be saved, the screen says **OurChest could not save this.** Try again when you are online.

## How do I share it? <a href="#share-it" id="share-it" />

Tap **Share** and pick where it should go. That sends the file. It does not invite the other person into the Chest. Inviting is a separate step. See [Invite people](../people/invite).

## How do I delete it? <a href="#delete-it" id="delete-it" />

Open the menu and tap **Delete**.

OurChest shows **Photo deleted**, **Video deleted**, or **File deleted**, with **Undo**. Tap **Undo** right away to put it back. OurChest then says **Restored**.

*Android. On iPhone, Delete is in the same viewer menu.*

*Android. The iPhone shows the same message after a delete.*

**Undo** is the way back. After that message is gone, the item is no longer in the Chest.

## Who can delete? <a href="#who-can-delete" id="who-can-delete" />

The person who added the file can delete it. The owner of the Chest can delete it too. Another member cannot delete a file they did not add.
