Canvas - How do I use files?
Organize documents, images and videos in your course files. Students will only see files that you link and publish in modules, assignments, etc. They will not have access to the File tab in the navigation.

Tips
- Students will only see files that you link and publish in modules, assignments, etc. They will not have access to the File tab in the navigation.
- Course storage limits are 1000MB. Consider alternate options for storing large files such as videos in Kaltura (My Media) or Onedrive and then embedding or linking into your course.
- Student files submissions only count against the course quota if they are NOT submitted to a graded item.
