| Files is a place to upload files and find Moodle created files such as backup(s) of the course. The files area can contain PDFs, HTML, Multimedia, word processing, presentations or any digital content that can be link from an [[Teacher_documentation#Activity_modules|activity]], [[Teacher_documentation#Resources|resource]], [[Course sections|course section]], or for a direct download by the student. The Files menu is located in a [[Course administration block|course's administration block]].

| <p class="note">'''Note:''' [[File handling 2.0|File handling]] in Moodle 2.x has been changed. Teachers will find the file [[Repositories]] in the new [[File picker]].</p>
| |
| | |
| Courses that have been upgraded to 2.0 will see the old [[Course files|Files link]] in Moodle 2.0. This "Files" link only exists for upgraded courses. The new file picker is available from within the context of an activity or a resource in 2.0. For example, this system will allow teachers to upload files from their hard drive, access files on the server, or from external sources.

| ==Files in pre Moodle 2.0==
| |
| ===Move, delete, archive ===
| |
| It is possible to move, delete completely or zip archive one or more items. First select the items on the list by ticking the box on the left. Then use the "With Choosen files" pull down menu at the bottom of the list to take the action.
| |
| | |
| ===Make a folder===
| |
| The "Make a folder" button is at the bottom of the list. The initial file structure for a course is simple. Modules within Moodle may create their own folder. Generally speaking,a teacher can make one or more folders any place in the "files" area. These folders can be seen when adding an image or resource from within the course.
| |
| | |
| ===Upload a file===
| |
| On the bottom of every files screen is a "Upload a file" button. This will allow a single file upload. Uploading a file with the same name as an existing file it will automatically overwrite the existing file without a warning.
| |
| | |
| :''TIP:'' By first zipping a group of files or a folder of files, you can upload that file and Moodle will recognize this and give you an unzip action link. The unzip action will create the files and or folders in that place in the administrative files section.
| |
| | |
| ===Editing some files===
| |
| HTML and text files can be edited when the edit action is displayed on the left. Other files will need to be edited on your local computer and uploaded again.
| |
| | |
| ==Student views of files==
| |
| Using the add resource menu, the teacher can give access to a directory (folder) and everything under it.
| |
| | |
| ==Special sub-directories==
| |
| There are two standard sub-directories that are used by Moodle for storing data, namely the [[backupdata]] and moddata directories which are not available to students and teachers without editing privileges.
