Hello  @alejandrodavila ‌...

Could you please give us some more information about your question?  Are you a student?  Are you an instructor?  Where are you wanting to upload a photo?  To your Canvas account to use as an avatar image?  To a page of content within your course?  As an attachment to an assignment?  Any of these details will help us know how to better help you with your question...thanks!

I am a student and on our assignment I need to upload a pic along with my assignment.  So, I go to reply, type in my assignment but how do I uplad a pic from here?  Do I have to send my assignment and then repost a pic?  Can't I do it together?

Hi @MonicaEspejo !

You should utilize the RCE, or Rich Content Editor. 

There is a button at the top labeled "Insert". Click that button, then click image > upload image. You will then select a file from your device and then you can reply to the discussion as normal.

I'll leave an image below in case you need assistance in locating the button.

Reach out with any concerns, thanks!
Noah

Where the Insert button is located on the RCE (Rich Content Editor).

Hi @MonicaEspejo ...

Unfortunately, I'm not able to access your school's Canvas environment or your course, and I don't want to give you incorrect information on what the requirements are for your assignment.  I can, however, provide you with a written Guide from the Community site on how you can attach or embed images.  I would highly recommend that you reach out to your instructor for the exact requirements and directions on what you are supposed to do, though.
