Managing Personal Files

In Canvas each student has a place where they can upload their own personal files. These files are visible only to the student; instructors and other students cannot see them. Students may also use this personal storage space to upload rough drafts of assignments that are not ready to be submitted yet, or save extra files that they might want access to at a later time.

Within your personal files, you can:

Add files
Add folders
Download or upload a .zip file
Preview files
Lock, move, edit, or delete files
View your storage
