# List Files Attached to an Entity

> List all non-archived files attached to a specific entity.

Returns the non-archived files attached to a specific entity — the file objects themselves, not the `file_attachments` link rows.

### Auth

Requires a CRM read [scope](/authentication#scopes) and an active organization on the token. Any of `contacts:read`, `deals:read`, `companies:read`, or `activities:read` qualifies, as does any `*:manage` scope — manage implies read.

### Response

| Field   | Type                  | Description                                                                                                                                           |
| ------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `files` | array of file objects | Same shape as `file` in [Initiate an Upload](/api-reference/files/upload-init). Attachments whose file has since been archived are silently excluded. |
