[ARCHIVED] Why can't I upload a folder when I submit an assignment?

[steusr6409]

I have a folder with 39 files that represents one assignment submission.  How can I do that without uploading each file individually - that's 39!

[steusr6409]

Yes, help!

HI  @steusr6409  Thank You for your questions. 

It appears that you can only submit them one at a time. Here's a guide that outlines this https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10663-421254353  

I wish I could have been more helpful. 

Best of luck with your studies, it looks like you have done a powerful amount of work!

I was hoping this would be resolved, since it was brought up in 2020 and now it is 2023.  It should be easy to add this function---to be able to select a folder from your Files and link that to an assignment.  There's no reason that a teacher should have to select all the files within the folder, which could be numerous.  If someone could reply with any definitive information about whether this is being worked on, many users would appreciate it.

I'm not sure if any work is being done on this particular thing, but I would like to direct your attention to the Product Roadmap portion of the Community website.  Here, you can get an idea of the kinds of things Instructure is currently working on and what is expected down the road.
