  • Edit the view at admin/content/files provided by core
  • Add the 'File to Media links' field to the view
  • Now for any files shown in admin/content/files that are not associated with a media entity, and where the user has permission to create media entities of that type - there will be a drop button allowing you to create media of that type.
