According to my user documentation, e.g.
http://manual.mahara.org/en/1.7/blocks/files.html users can only see
files in the "public" folder and re-use them in their portfolios. It
would be great if you could clarify please whether the new sub folders
feature applies to all folders or only "public". That would be great to
know for the testing of this feature and then the documentation. :-)

Title:
  Site files accessible in "Links and resources" sidebar

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  According to the Site Files documentation, files uploaded into the
  site files section are meant to be accessible to all logged-in users
  (via the "Site Files" tab on any file selector). The one exception to
  this is files in the hard-coded "Public" folder, which are meant to
  also be accessible to users who aren't logged in.

  A user on the #mahara irc channel reported that Site Files sitting in
  a subdirectory, however, are not accessible to normal users. I
  verified this behavior in 1.8dev.

  To reproduce:

  1. Log in as an admin user
  2. Go to the Site Files page
  3. Create a subdirectory
  4. Upload a file into that subdirectory
  5. Log in as a non-admin user
  6. Add a "files to download" block to a page
  7. In the block's file selector, go to the "site files" page
  8. You will not see the subdirectory you created in step 4, or be able to access its files.
