Files

Overview

Often you'll want to upload files that you've created on your own computer (or gotten from other sources) into Canvas. You can upload files in various places throughout Canvas including directly into your Course Modules, as well as the Rich Content Editor (RCE) of Discussions, Assignments, Pages, and Quizzes. See the following guide for more general information - What are Files for Instructors? Links to an external site.

Accessing Files

Course Files
Access Files in your course by clicking on "Files" located on the navigation links on the left in your course. This page contains all files that have been uploaded by the Instructor to the course. See the following guide for more information - How do I view course files as an Instructor? Links to an external site.

User Files
In addition to course files, Instructors also have Personal user Files which are not attached to a specific course. The focus of the information on these tabs is Course Files, but for more information on User Files see the following guide - How do I view my user files as an Instructor? Links to an external site.
