The repository feature in Moodle 2.0 onwards allows a site administrator to [[Manage repositories|manage site folders]] in the "[[Moodledata directory]]" from ''Site administration > Plugins > Repositories''. Repositories appear in [[File picker]] for the users.  Users can browse external repositories.
===Repositories enabled by default===


The Moodle 2.0 File picker standard install will show Server files, Upload files and Private files repositories along with the contextual Upload files and Recent files links.  Moodle comes with 15 other hidden repositories which can be turned on and renamed if required by the site administrator.
* [[Upload a file repository|Upload a file]] - you use this for browsing for and uploading a file from your computer or USB.
