Summary
Digital assets have become an integral part of content management, especially as mobile phones have become more ubiquitous. Content management has had to better support photos and videos and integrate with third-party services, such as social media, that readily incorporate digital assets. Drupal affords a customizable experience through its files, images, and media features, all of which address these use cases. Files provide the foundation for Drupal to manage an asset. Images help offer specific capabilities, such as image styles and responsive images, that provide more targeted content management. Finally, media helps offer tools for a more robust structured content mechanism and refined experience that helps you manage digital assets more broadly.
