Basically, I'm concerning about the following aspects: 1. There is no way to restore a direct link to attached file if the page was accidentally refreshed or closed. You have to re-upload the file, thus creating unused duplicates. 2. There is no way to track dead images that are no longer needed/used. 3. There is no way to delete attached files if some of them were uploaded by mistake. This applies both to wiki pages and issues. ### Proposal As I can see them at this moment: * **First approach:** a small attachment manager (e.g. when you can see all the attached files below the the text area). * **Second approach:** Add a new section in Admin panel (something like Media in WordPress) that will show all attachments and where they are attached (or not) * **Alternative approach:** make `uploads` folder (especially for Gitlab.com projects) cloneable using `git clone` or downloadable via UI ### Related issues https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/12656 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/14318 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/23071 (Slightly related) https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/21818 (Slightly related)
