The sub folders feature should apply to both files in 'public' and files in folders other than 'public'. Of course the same restrictions should still apply, meaning that users can still only use the files in 'public' and its sub folders to re-use them in their portfolios. And I think it's a bug fix and not a feature since administrators can currently link files in the 'link and resources' menu that are in a sub folder and users still cannot access these files :-)

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.
