Hello there, @WayneKaweski ...

Canvas does not have a "drop box" ... or at least, that terminology is not used in Canvas.  The term "Drop box" has been used in other LMSs (Learning Management Systems) as a place to submit work to an instructor, but Canvas does not use that terminology.  Rather, your work is submitted within the assignment itself ... assuming that your instructor has set up the assignment correctly in your course.  Here are a couple short video tutorials that should help you out:

• Assignments Overview (Students) - Instructure Community
• Assignment Submissions (Students) - Instructure Community

Also, Community members do not have access to your school's Canvas environment or your course(s) in question.  So, if you have specific questions about where assignments are located within your course(s), you'll need to speak with your instructor(s) directly.  You can contact them using this Guide: How do I contact Canvas Support? - Instructure Community.

I hope this info will be helpful to you, Wayne.  Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
