If I have an assignment that has a dropbox with an online submission, is there anyway to lock the dropbox and have the assignment stay open to be seen by students still??
Hello,
Yes, if the submission dates are closed then your students will not be able to continue to make submissions but they will still be able to see the assignment and their own submission.
I'm also including some information on the difference between availability dates and due dates for your reference.

In addition to the helpful information you've received from @kylieannpugh, I'd like to just briefly address the terminology of "Dropbox" for clarification purposes. Canvas does not have a "Dropbox" for assignments. Students just submit their work to assignments, but there's no further "Dropbox" terminology that's associated with that. Also, as you may already know, Dropbox.com is a completely different website for cloud storage of personal files, for example. Finally, when I was a Canvas administrator in higher education in Wisconsin, before we migrated to Canvas, we were using a LMS called Pearson eCollege's LearningStudio, and students had a "Dropbox" to submit work to their instructors.
Even though this didn't really help to address your question, I hope this little bit of information will be helpful to you.

Hi, Has anyone pursued establishing an on-site/on-campus backup of their Canvas instance (updated and ultimately similarly functional to the Beta or Test instances provided when Instructure hosts your LMS in AWS)?
My team is currently going through the different LTIs/APIs we have installed in our Canvas instance and making sure we have a full list of what permissions each one has, what information it gives/receives, etc. However, the list of LTIs/APIs is contradictory - the new Apps page has a Monitor tab which lists launches of…
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…
