As mentioned before, everyone on our Moodle has a folder with their name which is used for private storage. Moodle 2.0 has a new block: My private files. If it's enabled in a course, it's a quick way to access that individual storage space. This is a great new feature. Various add-ons or workarounds have been available for this in the past, but this is now standard in Moodle and offers great potential. For example, tutors and students can upload a file in the office, company, or school and download it at home to continue working on it. Teachers who liked the old course files link can create a similar structure in their private files area to store resources and select from there those they wish to display to their students.
