	==What is a repository?==		==What is a repository?==
	A repository can be thought of as a storage area from which users can retrieve files to add to their course. There are several repositories enabled by default, such as [[Server files]] which contains files from other courses a user has access to, or [[Upload a file repository\| Upload a file]] which allows the user to search their computer or USB drive for a file to upload. Other repositories include [[Google Docs repository\|Google ~~Docs~~]],or [[Flickr repository\|Flickr]]. See [[Repositories]] for more information.
