I have connected my Google Drive to Canvas via settings. When I go under Modules, and add new using External Tool, The Google Drive does not show up. Other apps do--but not Google. Can Free Canvas access Google Drive?
Hello @ChrisEch ...
When the Google Apps LTI integration is installed in Canvas, it is available in the following areas of a course:
This means that you cannot add the Google Apps tool directly to your "Modules" index page. However, it can be added to the other areas of your course as shown above. In your own course, when you go to your "Settings" page, click on the "Apps" tab, and then click on the "View App Configurations" tab. You should see a row for "Google Apps". Click on the icon on the far right side of the screen for "Google Apps", and you should see the "Placements" of where the app is available within your course.
Also, this page on the EduAppCenter has more information about the LTI tool which might be useful for you:

Hopefully this helps to clarify things for you. Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
Edit: I just re-read your question, and you had asked about Google Drive...which is part of the Google Apps LTI. I *think* you should have access to Google Drive via the "Modules" screen. I checked this in my own sandbox account (where I also have admin access...not in a FFT account), and I do have the "Google Drive" option to select a file from my Google account to include in a Canvas module. I am not sure why you wouldn't be able to see that option in your own course. Is there a file in your Google Drive account that you could just download from there and then upload it into your Canvas course so that you aren't needing to rely on a third-party tool to house that particular file? Instead, could you store that file in your Canvas "Files" and link to the file from there?
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
