How do I view my user files as an instructor


User files include profile pictures, uploaded assignment submissions, and other files uploaded to your personal Astria LMS file storage area. By default, each user has 50 MB of storage space in Astria LMS. Administrators can change the quota for user files for the entire institution.

Note: When using the Rich Content Editor in a course, you cannot access files from your user files. To add files to a course, the file must reside in the files for the course. However, you can embed images from your user files using the Rich Content Editor.

Open User Files

In Global Navigation, click the Account link, then click the Files link.

View User Files

All your user folders display in the left panel [1]. View files in the right panel by clicking the name of a folder.

You can view your user quota and what percentage of that quota has been used [2]. If you are enrolled in any courses as a student, files that have been submitted as assignments do not apply to the user quota and are stored in the unfiled folder.

View My Files

The My Files folder creates folders based on default events in Astria LMS. Once you upload a file related to one of these areas, the folder and accompanying file will be created for you.

The Conversation attachments folder [1] stores files that you attach to Conversations messages.

If your institution enables you to upload a profile picture, the Profile pictures folder [2] stores photos that you upload as a profile picture.

The Unfiled folder [3] stores files that you attach to discussion topics or discussion replies.

My Files also includes any additional folders you create to organize your files, as well as any files not uploaded to a specific folder. If you have a student role in any courses, any files in the My Files folder that are not related to assignment submissions count toward your user quota.
