I have a problem regarding downloading files in modules:the student is able to download the files locally but I don't want the student to be able to do that.How can I deny access to the download?
Thank you
Hi there, @GiuliaPatetta ...
Yesterday I saw a similar question posted, and @chriscas provided a response:
How to upload a PDF in CANVAS without download rig... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
This was Chris' response:
I'm not aware of a way to do this built into Canvas (or most other online systems to be honest). The way the web works in general if that if you're giving view rights, you're almost always giving download rights (as the web browser downloads things in the background to make them viewable). There are some scenarios where this is not the case, usually around video files, though sometimes PDF or other content as well, but there is nothing like that as far as I'm aware in Canvas. I apologize, as this probably is not the answer you were hoping to get, but I hope it helps you to at least have this answer for now.

Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be automated through Canvas? Currently, they email me for these requests and I generate them manually from…
Hello, Instructure Community, In light of the recent ADA Title II updates, my institution has made the decision to switch from Studio to another video capture tool, Panopto, for more accurate automatic captioning as well as many more desired features for course engagement and content management. From my understanding, the…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
