What It Is:

Storage of files within your Canvas course.

Why It's Awesome:

Easy to build: files uploaded to the Files space in your course can be easily shared in any content you create. Files can be uploaded in batches.
- There are THREE (3) ways to import content into a course.
  - Importing Course Materials in Bulk through the course import tool (Links to an external site.).
    Course import tool is great if you have a folder in your Google or OneDrive (or other location) with course materials. You can simply .zip the folder and upload to Canvas.
  - Add one or few files as you develop the course using the FILES tool.
    Similar to the course import tool, you can also add files to your course this way. Add files as you go or upload a group of files at once.
  - Drag-and-Drop - Canvas makes it easy to drag-and-drop files from your desktop or other location directly into your course files page!
Easy to share: files space can be hidden or available to students; individual files or folders within the space can be restricted from student view.

Folder structure is flexible and allows for subfolder structure for easy organization.
Files become a part of your course when it is copied from one term to the next.
