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 add files to a course and other locations in Moodle. Repositories provide access to specific types of file sources. They can also allow, where appropriate, users to upload files, access previously uploaded files, and to easily bring content into Moodle from external sources, such as Flickr or Google Docs.  


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.
See [[Managing repositories]] for more on configuring and managing them.
