The *Files* area is a repository, i.e. a document storage for folders and files that you can use within your portfolio. Both folders and files are considered artefacts and as such can be added to a page. You may create any number of folders or sub folders. To view which sub folders and files sit within a folder, click on the folder name. Use the *Home* link to return to the top level folder directory.

9.

You can arrange files and folders by dragging and dropping *the icon in front of the file / folder name* onto another folder icon. A suitably named and organised filing structure will help you with the long term organisation and retrieval of your artefacts. If you want to move a file or folder out of a sub folder, move it onto the icon of *parent folder*.

10.

You will find that some folders are automatically created by the system such as *viewfiles*. This folder includes files from imported pages. As with any other file, you can move them out of this folder and store them in a different folder.

11.

You can move files and folders to your heart's content without having to re-link them in the pages where you use them. Also renaming them will not have a negative impact on links.

Upload a file

13.

Before you upload a file, make sure that you are allowed to do so. For any artefacts that you publish in your portfolio, you must have the sufficient rights. That means:

14.

the artefact is your own **or**

15.

you are allowed to reproduce and distribute it -> it does not violate any copyright legislation **and**

16.

the artefact also adheres to the Terms and Conditions of the Mahara site you are using

17.

It can be that you have to agree to an upload agreement before you can upload any files to your *files area*. The site administrator decides about that *Site Administration* -> *Extensions* -> *Plugin Administration* -> :ref:`Plugin type: artefact: file <plugin_file>`.
