# Files

## Introduction

The files route is used to output the file content of a specific [FilemanagerFile](/api-reference/filemanager/filemanager-files.md).

When the file is retrieved, it is checked whether the user has the permissions for the respective file.

To ensure that a file is visible to e.g. all assigned [Departments](/api-reference/departments.md) of an [InfoboardPost](/api-reference/infoboard/infoboard-posts.md), the file should be shared via [SharedItems](/api-reference/shared-items.md).

## Show

Show the content of a `FilemanagerFile` by `id`.
