Spaces and other group modules have their own permissions system called 'Roles'.
The Roles for group modules are to find in Studio - Forms - Roles. When you select Groups in the dropdown, you'll find the list of roles. Here you can specifically select, what each member with the assigned role is able to do.
Check the Files permissions if you cannot add files in a space. A member that has no permission to add files in the overall permission settings for membership levels, will also have no permission to add a file in any group module. Except, if you assign it a role, that has permission to do so.
For example, my member 'Moderator Member' has Moderator membership level. This level is allowed to upload files. This member has also admin role in my test group. That's why Moderator can perform all actions in the group timeline.
The subnavigation menu in the groups modules used to only show what elements are in there. I think, the devs team are working on adding elements from those overview pages, but didn't finish for all group modules, yet. That's the reason why they behave differently. For now, you can add elements in group modules by using the 'Add new...' content block, as you can see on the screenshot below. Check, if you have a new element creation block on your groups startpage, if it is not there.

Thanks a million!
What I try to do is to create a group (inside Space or Organization). This group can create their own files, posts, discussions..etc. When I try to do that in this "inside-group" using the "Add new..." (the block in setting is called: "create post" (see image below), it gives me no choice of visibility to that "inside-group", but gives me all options of existing groups and also gives me an option of the parent "Space", but that very "inside-group" is not visible to restrict posts there.
Therefore, I tried to use "create Post (context)" (image first below). However, when I do that, that block (create post context) does not show at all in the "sub-group" although I was able to add it (see second image below)
Another thing I noticed, in the "Add new block" menu, there is more than one of the options mentioned above (create post and also create post context). I am not sure why they have two of them and if there is any difference between them.
So, although the title of this discussion is re: files, but these differences between the "regular" Group and the "sub-group" also involves posts, discussion, and may be other items.
Hope we have some clarifications regarding this..

Comment to 'Groups: what is the. difference between "groups" in "Space" vs. stand alone "Groups"?'
