Hello,  @degloria  Welcome to the Canvas Community! Please read through this excellent discussion discussing the difference between modules and pages: how do pages and modules either differ or relate  You can also review our documentation: What are Modules? 

"Files" mainly consist of documents and images the instructor or designer has uploaded to the course for use elsewhere. Many, if not most, instructors hide this navigation link from students; it's more of a back-end storage area that can be used to position resources in...modules and pages. Smiley Happy

Hope this helps!
