Hi, Thank you for clicking on my question.
I'm teaching teaching students by attaching various files to the canvas.
Could you tell me how long the file that I and my students uploaded to canvas is stored?
Hi @uja2223,
To piggyback on what @Chris_Hofer said, I don't think there is anything built in to Canvas itself that would make an uploaded file go away. I'm not sure if you're using the "free for teacher" Canvas, or one provided by your school/institution, so I'll also add one caveat to the statement above. Many schools are creating retention policies for Canvas courses. The institution I work for not has a 7 year retention policy, meaning courses that were offered 7 years ago will be deleted from Canvas. Something like that *may* apply to you, but you'd need to check with your local Canvas team (usually in the IT / eLearning / Digital Education departments)

Hi @uja2223 ...
If you are the instructor of a Canvas course and you are attaching files to content pages within your course, those files remain in the course for your students ... unless, for some reason, you were to remove the file(s) from the page.
Or, are you asking about files submitted by students as part of assignment submissions? Any files submitted by students for assignments are stored in their user files are of the course, and they are not counted towards their user file quota (which is around 50 MB). Those files cannot be deleted from their user files.
I'm not sure if I am completely answering your question or not. Please help to clarify if I haven't addressed your question...thanks!

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
