  I’m looking to download materials from my media that I need to save elsewhere, not just on the WordPress server. How can I download it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  My suggestion is to open the image/video/sound file in your Media Library.

  For instance, you can use this image:
  https://realchiyouth.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php?item=1568

  Then, right click on the image, and click Save As. Name the file as you like, and choose the directory where you want it saved.

  I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!

  Actually, I’m having issues with doing it specifically for video. Do you have any suggestions?

  Oh my goodness, no problem at all :)

  To download video, you’ll take a similar action, but you’ll right-click on the file name as seen in this image:

  Those are pretty large video files. You may wish to optimize future uploads so they don’t take up so much of your disk space. Since you’re using a Mac, you can utilize Quicktime to do this simply:

  I hope this helps! Take care.
