[ARCHIVED] Uploading pictures documents

[kvred658]

Why will canvas not let me upload a picture and word document? It is telling me that I have an uploading error and that it fails. It's been saying this for a couple of days.

Hello Kaci Vredeveld,

You did not indicate if you are an instructor or a student and where you are trying to upload the files, so I'll try to give a few resources in different cases.

If you are an instructor:

How do I bulk upload files to a course? 

How do I upload a file to a course? 

How do I attach a file to a message as an instructor? 

https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12991-how-do-i-insert-course-files-into-the-rich-content-ed... 

If you are a student:

How do I upload a file to my user or group files? 

How do I upload a file as an assignment submission in Canvas? 

How do I attach a file to a message as a student? 

Also keep in mind:

Canvas does not support file uploads larger than 5 GB.

Hope one of these resources is helpful,
Cheers - Shar

Also Kaci,

If you are a student and trying to upload the picture and word doc for an assignment submission. You'll have to upload them one at a time. The instructor will be able to see both, but the last file you upload will be the one they see first. My advice is to add a comment that you are uploading both documents.

Best of luck,
Cheers - Shar
