Because IPFS is a peer-to-peer, decentralized network, you can use any public HTTP gateway to fetch your data. In this guide, we'll use the gateway at `w3s.link`, but you can see more worldwide gateways on the [IPFS Public Gateway Checker](https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/). - -When you [store data using the Web3.Storage client][howto-store], the `put` method returns an [IPFS content identifier (CID)][ipfs-docs-cid] string. That CID points to an IPFS directory that contains all the files you passed in using the `put` method. - -You can use an IPFS gateway to view a list of all the files in that directory from your browser. To do so, simply create a gateway URL. For example, if your CID is `bafybeidd2gyhagleh47qeg77xqndy2qy3yzn4vkxmk775bg2t5lpuy7pcu`, you can make a URL for the `w3s.link` gateway as follows: [bafybeidd2gyhagleh47qeg77xqndy2qy3yzn4vkxmk775bg2t5lpuy7pcu.ipfs.w3s.link](https://bafybeidd2gyhagleh47qeg77xqndy2qy3yzn4vkxmk775bg2t5lpuy7pcu.ipfs.w3s.link/). Follow that link, and you'll see a page similar to this: - -Screenshot of an IPFS gateway directory listing - -If you want to link directly to a file within that directory, just add the file path after the CID portion of the link.
