Files are associated with a resource or activity, not a file directory. Basic file manipulation is done through the File Picker. The File Picker allows instructors and students to access files from a variety of sources. Teachers can use their Private files, found in the User menu in the top right part of the screen or instructors and students can also use the Private files block.
