{{Moodle 2.0}}The way files are handled in Moodle has been changed significantly in Moodle 2.0.
#redirect [[Working with files]]
 
* Previously, if a file was used in different courses, it was duplicated. In Moodle 2.0, files are stored only once, saving disk space.
 
* Full support for Unicode file names on all operating systems.
* Metadata about each file (author, date, license, etc) and what the file is used for are stored in the database.
* Files are no longer just "uploaded to the course".  Files are connected to the particular bit of Moodle content that uses them. (For example, a file may belong to a file resource, a forum post or a wiki page). Access to these files is then controlled by the same rules as as that bit of Moodle, increasing security.
 
== Typical Moodle 2.0 workflow ==
Edit a text or activity. Use the filepicker to easily select the file from any local or remote repository. The file is then copied to Moodle and stored securely with the text or activity.
 
Or Edit a text or url resource. Use the filepicker to easily select the file from any local or remote repository and select "link". The file URL is then embedded into the text and when viewed, the media comes directly from the open repository.
