This is a port of Tiny File Manager for Moodle LMS. It supports multiple-languages storing, uploading, editing and managing files and folders in your website. The plugin runs on Moodle 3.2+. It includes build-in support for creating and managing text files and it supports syntax highlighting for over 150+ code languages.
