The File picker is new to Moodle 2.0. Here are some common question of old and new users about this feature.
Can I move items around in the File Picker?
No. Moodle associates files with activities. You need to navigate to these activities to link to them.
I've just uploaded a file. Now I cannot see it when I want to use it somewhere else. Why is this?
One option: It seems that if you choose the copyright "All Rights Reserved" it is not available to others.
What is the private folder?
The Private_files link is visible in the file picker if the admin has enabled it in Site_administration_menu_2.0>plugins>repositiories>manage repositories. If this is the case then a user will have a link in their profile settings (and, if added, in a side block) to a personal area into which they can upload files and organise folders. The uploaded files and folders may then be selected from the Private_files link in the file picker.
