There are two ways to add files to your Moodle course site.
Dragging and dropping files
Moodle allows you to drag files from your computer directly to your course page.
- Click the [Turn editing on] button on the top right corner of your course page.
- Locate on your device the file or files you want to add, then drag them into a topic block.
- Be sure you see “Add file(s) here” on the topic block before releasing.

Adding a file from the interface
However, you may want to add a file manually to configure additional options such as a custom name or description.
- Click the [Turn editing on] button in the top right corner of your course page.
- Within the topic block click Add an activity or resource.
- A pop-up window with open with all the activity or resource options, click on the File icon.
- Enter a display name for the file. You also can enter a description of the file that will display on the course page by checking “Display description on course page.”
- Drag-and-drop the file from the computer, or click the [Add] button followed by Upload a file.
- Click the [Choose file] button to select the file.
- Click the [Upload this file] button.
- Click the [Save and return to course] button.
