User Folder Access Control I work at a university that has switched to Drupal. We have several hundred departments making their own "sites" in our system. Most departments need to be able to upload and change ONLY their own pdf files, images, and documents.

We can make folders for departments but no user will want to scroll through the list to upload something each and every time.

Can a folder system of some sort tie in to individual users or groups?
IMCE is an image/file uploader and browser that supports personal
  directories and quota.


You'll need to integrate this file browser with your WYSIWYG editor (supports almost every editor), and you can work with personal or shared folders for users or permissions per directory.
