Below the โ€œCore Entities Settings โ€ section. You are interested in the โ€œShow Personal Fileโ€ setting. This option defines which user types can have access to personal files. If a user type has this right, then he will be able to see the my files button in the quick actions section of the dashboard as well as the files button in the userโ€™s profile page. (Figure 3)
