# How to share a file among multiple courses in Moodle?

There are two ways to do it:

- Place them in the “[site files](http://docs.moodle.org/en/Site_files)” area. It looks like only the administrator can do this. Also, the file will be viewable by everyone (i.e. don’t put sensitive data there).
- Use the [myFiles](http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=442) module to share the file. (However, someone in the discussion noted that his/her installation failed.)
- Create a [metacourse](http://docs.moodle.org/en/Meta_course) and associate the courses with this metacourse. Then make the file accessible to this metacourse.

See the discussion titled “[how to share files between courses](http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=65049)” at Moodle’s forum for more details. (Note that the participants agreed that these are not good solutions.)
