Moodle allows you to drag files from your computer directly to your course page.

1. Click the [Turn editing on] button on the top right corner of your course page.
2. Locate on your device the file or files you want to add, then drag them into a topic block.
3. Be sure you see “Add file(s) here” on the topic block before releasing.

6. Click the [Choose file] button to select the file.
