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 in Moodle enable users to upload files, access previously uploaded files and to easily bring content into Moodle from external repositories, such as Flickr or Google Docs. Enabled repositories are available in the [[File picker]]. (Note that you cannot upload files ''into'' a repository from Moodle.)


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.
