Viewing Files from All Your Courses

How to view and edit your files in Canvas.

Using the files tab (in the main left menu), you are able to access every single file you have in ALL your courses and you can move files around from course to course. As a bonus, you are able search for a file across all the courses you’re attached to (Student’s cannot do this).  

  1. Click on All My Files button on the files page (bottom right corner). This is quite handy for a number of reasons, particularly housekeeping.  
  1. All you files are now visible. 
  1. By clicking the 3 dots to the right of each file you can make various changes, such as Downloading, Renaming, Moving to, Deleting, Sharing etc.
