Pro Tip Tuesday: Drag and Drop to upload files to Canvas

Filed in Canvas by on March 20, 2018

Did you know that with most web browsers, you can add to your course files by simply dragging and dropping the files from a file window directly into Canvas?

drag and drop files

Click the title of the file you wish to add [1] and drag the file to your open browser [2]. Your file will automatically upload.  Use the keyboard shortcut holding down Shift + Click with the mouse to highlight multiple adjacent files or CTRL + Click to highlight multiple non-adjacent files at once to drag and drop.

That’s all for today!  If you have any questions, as always, feel free to reach out to the ATC at canvashelp@wpi.edu anytime!
