Template:Moodle 2.0In Moodle 2.0 onwards, files are stored in separate areas, rather than together in the course files area. (See File handling 2.0 for details).

Note: It is recommended that teachers make use of the new repositories in Moodle 2.0 for storing course files, rather than saving them in a course files area.

In Moodle 2.0 the course files area has been renamed 'Legacy course files'. By default, this area is not available in new courses.

Enabling legacy course files areas

To enable a legacy course files area in a new course

  1. Check the legacyfilesinnewcourses box in Site Administration > Development > Experimental.
  2. Enable the legacy course files repository plugin in Administration > Plugins > Repositories > Manage repositories.
  3. Set 'Legacy course files' to Yes in the course settings.

A legacy course files link will then appear in the course administration block.
