{% hint style="info" %}
The file type filter uses mime type specifications to filter out the content. You may check following [list of mime types](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types/Common_types) that you can use to filter out content. If you would like to filter out multiple types of content you can do so by separating each mime type by a **;** char
