Spanish term
medias
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
This comes from a manual for an online suppliers' portal for a large DIY store in Spain. Suppliers can use it to upload product information and also "medias". The definition in the document states:
Como MEDIAS no nos referimos solo a la FOTO del producto, sino también a
todo tipo de documentación asociada al producto:
- Fotos silueteadas
- Fotos en ambiente
- Foto del packaging
- Pictos
- Vídeos
- Manuales
- Certificados de calidad
My impression is that they are using the English word from the field of graphic design. Could this be the case?

media
It's the same in English, except the plural doesn't take an "s". A medium is a means of communication.

I don't really see how quality certificates could be classified as a medium (the singular form of "media"), but you never know. They are just another means of vouching for the quality of something...

resources/elements
I think a broader catch-all term would suffice. The suppliers can upload any resources or information about/relating to their products.
