The File picker is new to Moodle 2.0. Here are some common question of old and new users about this feature.
Can I move items around in the File Picker?
No. Moodle associates files with activities. You need to navigate to these activities to link to them.
I've just uploaded a file. Now I cannot see it when I want to use it somewhere else. Why is this?
One option: It seems that if you choose the copyright "All Rights Reserved" it is not available to others.
What is the private folder?
The "Private files" link is visible in the file picker if the admin has enabled it in Site Administration>plugins>repositiories>manage repositories. If this is the case then a user will have a link in their profile settings (and, if added, in a side block) to a personal area into which they can upload files and organise folders. The uploaded files and folders may then be selected from the Private files link in the file picker.
