What are private files?

In Totara, each user has a private files area for uploading and managing a set of files.

The private files area is accessible via Profile > Manage private files... or the Private files block. If the private files repository is enabled by a Site Administrator, it is available as a source within the file picker when selecting files to use in a course.

Private files size limit

The size limit for each user's private files area is set by a Site Administrator.

Site Administrators can do this by navigating to Quick-access menu > Security, then changing the User quota setting.
