Dear All,
Not sure this is the best forum for my question, perhaos it is 
The matter is : Is
there any way of controlling the sizes of files uploaded by students to
online text assignments, forums etc. via Atto's Link button
> Upload a file repository? The limit applicable there appears the
same for all users, i.e. the (course's?) "Site upload limit", which is
usually quite generous.
We
are on Moodle 3.9, and cannot yet use the file size limit on
attachments in quiz essay questions, but at least here there is a
solution to look forward to once we upgrade... And of course attachment
sizes in assignments, forums or workshops can be specified. It's also
nice that essay questions in quizzes can be set to use "bare" HTML
editors with no File Picker enabled. So there are some ways of
controlling the sizes of student input in some places.
I find that insufficiuent and inconsistent, anyway, as there all sorts of other in-course
contexts where students can upload stuff into the HTML editor
practically without limit.
Are there any ways of restricting the sizes of students' files uploaded to the HTML editors?
With respect to assignments, I suppose I can experiment with the
"Use
uploading in file picker" repository/upload:view capability - to
prohibit students from using it at all , but this seems cumbersome, not
user friendly for teachers , and not versatile enough.
