How much storage space do I have for my Canvas course site? What if I do not have enough storage?
Answer
By default, 500 MB is allocated to each Canvas course, and 150 MB to each student. These quotas can become a problem when the course instructor has large-sized course documents or media files to post, or when students submit large-sized files to an assignment on Canvas. This can also cause problems when the instructor tries to import a Canvas Export file (.imscc).
Course storage may be increased, but only to a certain extent when the instructor sends a request to the Canvas Admin (zzhang@rmc.edu). When trying to access a large course file, students experience extended download time or download error. We highly recommend uploading large-sized course files onto RMC OneDrive and/or RMC Google. Videos should be uploaded to YouTube, which is part of the user's RMC Google account. PDF, PowerPoint and Word files with images should also be uploaded to OneDrive or GoogleDrive.
RMC faculty, staff and students can use their RMC username and password to login to OneDrive and Google, and enjoy unlimited storage and easy access.
