We are trying to upload a file to a "file upload" question in a quiz. We use google docs and when we try, it is showing the document as unavailable. Even though we can see it, we are not able to select it to upload it. Can someone assist with this?

Welcome to the Canvas Community!!!

I do not believe that a .gdoc file extension is an acceptable file type that can be uploaded into a File Upload question.  This document here How do I create a File Upload quiz question?  states that:

"You can create a question for students that requires a file upload and can be used for PDFs, images, audio files, video files, etc."
