What are Files?

Files are where you upload course files, syllabi, readings, or other documents.

As an instructor, you can lock the folders, so students cannot access your files.
Files can be placed in Modules, Assignments, or Pages. Files and folders are put in alphabetical order and cannot be rearranged.

Astria LMS users will find access to files (documents, images, media, etc.) in three different places:

  • Personal files, located in each user's profile (students, teachers, and TAs)

  • Course files, located in each course (students, teachers, and TAs unless files are locked by the teacher)

  • Group files, located in each group (students and teachers who are enrolled in groups)


Use Files to:

  • Share course documents and syllabi with your students

  • Copy documents from one Astria course to another

  • Organize course documents by day, week, or unit

  • Store personal documents that you don't want to share with others

Within files, you can:

  • Add folders

  • Upload files

  • Download or upload a ZIP file

  • Move files

  • Preview files

  • Restrict files

  • View your storage

  • Drag and drop files from personal files into course files

If you are using the Usage Rights feature option, you can also set usage rights for files and folders.
