### Viewing the Data

The data that appears in the results for the file field varies depending on the settings for the field or settings for the bloc.

#### Images

For example, if the file is an image, the link to the image will be a link to a Blocworx page where you can view the file, as opposed to it being a publicly available url.

It is possible to make the urls publicly available by using the Bloc Setting [Make Images/Files Public](https://manual.blocworx.com/blocworx-documentation/bloc-editor/bloc-settings/functional-settings#make-images-files-public).

It is also possible to see the image as a preview inside the data by using the [Show Previews of Uploaded Images in Data](https://manual.blocworx.com/blocworx-documentation/bloc-editor/bloc-settings/data-display-settings#show-previews-of-uploaded-images-in-data) setting.
