All users will need to authorize their Google Drive accounts for access to Google collaborations and assignment uploads. The Google Drive is where you will store all your work files, documents, spreadsheets and presentations you have created. It is also where Canvas will automatically make copies of everything you submit to your teachers.

The district has enabled the Google Drive link to appear in all course menus. When a student first tries to create, access or upload their own Google document, a message will appear asking them to authorize their Google accounts for use within Canvas..
Students will need to grant access in order to effectively use Canvas.

If you have questions, please ask your teacher for clarification or stop by the Helpdesk in your building.

It is important to understand that once your Google Drive is linked to Canvas, any files that you have edited within Canvas will automatically update with the same file in your Google Drive.
