# Using the Save Storage

{% hint style="success" %}
The save storage is unnecessary in [ESave Pro](https://u3d.as/3vCT).
{% endhint %}

The purpose of the save storage is simple—it helps find saves by storing their file path. Read more about this [here](/esave/getting-started/components/save-storage.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
When scripting with the Save Storage, ensure that there is a Save Storage component in your scene.
{% endhint %}

## Adding to the Storage

Save files that have `addToStorage` set to true will automatically be added to the save storage. Ensure that there is a Save Storage component in your scene. You can also add the save file to the storage with the code below.

```csharp
// Where save is a SaveFile reference
SaveStorage.instance.AddSave(save);
```

## Removing From the Storage

Removing saves from the storage is useful when you'd like the player to have the option to delete a save state.

```csharp
// Where save is a SaveFile reference
SaveStorage.instance.RemoveSave(save);
```

## Accessing the Saves

### Get All Saves

You can get the list of all saves with the code below.

```csharp
var allSaves = SaveStorage.instance.saves;
```

### Get a Save By File Name

```csharp
var save = SaveStorage.instance.GetSaveByFileName("name");
```
