Uploading a folder to Moodle


Here's what we have to do in order to upload a whole folder rather than a single file:

  • Click on Add. The File Picker appears as when we uploaded a single file

  • The file link will appear in our editing screen for this resource. To the right of it is an icon -click it and it offers some choices:
