Found this post [Image template for files to only accept images doesn't work](https://forum.getkirby.com/t/image-template-for-files-to-only-accept-images-doesnt-work/17040)

A files field doesn’t have a “direct” template option, the template is set under the upload option:

```auto
gallery:
  type: files
  uploads: 
    parent: site
    template: files-upload

```

That works, but I don’t know what the parent:site does?
