Media File Manager

Media File Manager allows you to manage your media files in various formats easily and provides convenient access to them.

To activate this feature, go to MS LMS > Addons and enable the Media File Manager add-on.

Each instructor's uploaded media files are strictly confidential and accessible only to them. The Media File Manager ensures that files remain private and are not shared with other instructors or unauthorized users. This guarantees the security of course materials, preventing unauthorized access or modifications. Administrators, however, retain the ability to manage and oversee media content to maintain platform integrity.

Settings

In the Media File Manager Settings, you can set the maximum upload file size and specify the file extensions that are allowed to be uploaded.

If you try to upload a file with an extension that you did not specify as an allowed file format, you will get the following error message:
