Why does the file manager only list image files? I can't find any other uploaded files, not even with search! Example: PDF files that are supposedly uploaded are missing.
Try logging in as the top level Admin account, not a general User/Administrator account you may have created since that account may not have permissions to upload content or that file type.
Go to Allowed Files Types under File Manager --> Access. Look to see if pdf is listed in your allowed file types. If it isn't, add it. :)
If you can do it now, you'll need to give permissions to other accounts to do the same.
If you're just logged in under a general Administrator account (or another group/user), which is counter-intuitively different than your default Admin account that is initially created, make sure that that group/user is given priviliges to Add All under under the Permissions section on that same page.
The file might also be too big. Many hosts have a default php upload limit of 2-4 MB's. Try uploading a very small pdf file (like under 1 MGB) to determine if this is the problem. Do this in the File Manager Quick Upload as well as clicking the More link right next to it which brings up the Multifile-Uploader; that has a progress bar to track your uploads.
If you can't upload, you may want to add this to your root htaccess file which might help:

This doesn't always work. You may have to change your php.ini file too. Your ability to do this may vary from host to host.
P.S. what version of concrete 5 are you running? Current version is 5.3.1.1
