Canvas - File Storage/Large Files (Students)

Storage for files on Canvas is limited. You'll need to delete some previously stored files (or relocate those files elsewhere), then upload your documents. Please refer to the Canvas Student Guide, under “Files” for instructions on how to deal with individual files. Documentation for managing your Canvas files can be found here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-view-my-user-files-as-a-student/ta-p/483

You can, however, bypass the storage limit by linking to files (documents, videos, etc) on your Alliant OneDrive or personal Gmail account.
