Files in Moodle 2.0
For those who have come from an older version of Moodle. The "files" link is gone from the course administration but do not panic. The File picker will show up when there is a need to add or edit a file. For example, when a teacher wants to add an image, they might select "add" in the content area of the "Updating a resource" page and the file picker popup window will appear.
Courses that have been upgraded to 2.0 will see a "Legacy course files" link in the course settings menu. "Legacy course files" link only exists for upgraded courses.
Student views of files
Using the add resource menu, the teacher can give access to a directory (folder) and everything under it.
