Hi there, @RylieMcmillian ...

It sounds like your instructor is using incorrect terminology.  In Canvas, there is nothing called a "drop box".  Normally, when I hear that, I think of two possible things:

• Dropbox (which is located at https://www.dropbox.com) is a place for cloud file storage that you may be familiar with and is not associated with Canvas.
• "drop box" as in a place to submit an assignment to your instructor in your course.  This is most likely what your instructor is referring to.  (In fact, prior to using Canvas, I was a LMS admin at a higher education school that used a product called Pearson eCollege LearningStudio, and this platform actually had a "Drop Box" to submit work.)  For you, though, I'd suggest that you review these two video tutorials:
  • Assignments Overview (Students)
  • Assignment Submissions (Students)

Hopefully these two videos (especially the second one) will be helpful to you.  If you have other questions about submitting work to your instructor, I'd recommend reaching out to him/her directly...which you can do inside of Canvas:

How do I get help with Canvas as a student?

Hopefully this information will be helpful to you.  Good luck!
