I do not see the file manager

by Gino Palmia - Monday, May 25, 2020, 6:28 PM

Hi everyone,

I am using version 3.8 of Moodle as an administrator.

When a teacher user uses the file picker, the files can be viewed in different folders (personal, server, recent, etc.).

Is it possible to manage files in a specific block (a file manager)?

It seems to me that there is a "File server" block but I don't understand how to configure it so that it is visible to users.

Something like this

File Manager

that I used in version 1.9...

Thank you for the answer.

The way that files are stored internally in Moodle has changed completely since Moodle 1.9. There is no longer a folder full of files that can be browsed through in the way you are requesting - each activity or other plugin instance manages it's own list of files. There are a great many advantages to this, but it does mean you cannot browse through files like that.

For the "new" (since Moodle 2, Nov 2010) way of storing files, see the forum documentation.
