Filter Files by Date, Age, or Size

In addition to filters for file name, date, and location, there are filters for file date, age, and size. Similar filters are available for adding and for extracting files.

When you filter by date, age, or size, only files that fall within the ranges you specify are included: files that fall outside any range are excluded.

See here for an overview of how to access and work with filters.
