Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

User's should be able to see the file name in the file panel, not just a render of it.

#### Why would you like to do it?

Where images are very similar, or there are several similar files in a room the user will be able to see the file name clearly and identify it for download

#### How would you like to achieve it?

Up to design but the Files panel also needs to account for the new captioned media work too so there also needs to be space for that design

### Have you considered any alternatives?

Adding the file name to the download button might make the button far too long...?
