## class `Files`
A lazy iterator over a collection of `File` objects.
Access and manage files uploaded to W\&B during a run. Handles pagination automatically when iterating through large collections of files.
**Example:**
```python theme={null}
from wandb.apis.public.files import Files
from wandb.apis.public.api import Api
# Example run object
run = Api().run("entity/project/run-id")
# Create a Files object to iterate over files in the run
files = Files(api.client, run)
# Iterate over files
for file in files:
print(file.name)
print(file.url)
print(file.size)
# Download the file
file.download(root="download_directory", replace=True)
```
### method `Files.__init__`
```python theme={null}
__init__(
client: 'RetryingClient',
run: 'Run',
names: 'list[str] | None' = None,
per_page: 'int' = 50,
upload: 'bool' = False,
pattern: 'str | None' = None
)
```
Initialize a lazy iterator over a collection of `File` objects.
Files are retrieved in pages from the W\&B server as needed.
**Args:**
* `client`: The run object that contains the files
* `run`: The run object that contains the files
* `names` (list, optional): A list of file names to filter the files
* `per_page` (int, optional): The number of files to fetch per page
* `upload` (bool, optional): If `True`, fetch the upload URL for each file
* `pattern` (str, optional): Pattern to match when returning files from W\&B This pattern uses mySQL's LIKE syntax, so matching all files that end with .json would be "%.json". If both names and pattern are provided, a ValueError will be raised.
