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, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
I have a new React + Flask webapp. It has its own login for users to start using the app. I have added this as an external tool in Canvas. What I want initially is to see of canvas users can start using the webapp without having to login if they click on the external tool link in a canvas course. I have 2 methods…
