All of my files are in Google Drive and I'd like to move them into a module.  I know how to move documents from Google Drive into an Assignment in Canvas, but I'd like to create my modules with my files from Google Drive.

Hi,  @lisa_meredith  Welcome to the Community! The short answer is that you choose the "External Tool" module item option and then choose your file. You aren't technically moving the files to Canvas but rather creating a link from Canvas to the file stored in Google Drive. Here are two other pieces of useful community content that explains in more detail and with pictures:
