If you have not been advised by our team yet, please hide your Course Files section from students.
It is ideal to place all material intended for student use in modules and then disable the Files link in the course navigation menu. This ensures that students will not be able to view any files that are not in a module. Unfortunately, Canvas’s default setting automatically allows students to have access to ALL the items put in Course Files. Therefore, we recommend that instructors manually hide the Course Files section in their course. If you want a separate place to store course files, please consider using Microsoft OneDrive.
