1. Google Cloud Assignments

These are assignments where your teacher has shared a template file with you. When you view the assignment in Canvas, a copy will automatically be created and added to your Google Drive. You can work on the assignment in Canvas or in your Google Drive. When you are ready to turn in the assignment, within Canvas, click the 'Submit' button.

2. Google Drive Tab

These are assignments where you can find files in your Google Drive and submit the file for your assignment.

When you view the assignment, you will see a 'Submit Assignment' button at the top right of the assignment details. Click on that button and you will see tabs for your assignment upload options. If your teacher has allowed for online submissions and file uploads, you will see a "Google Drive" tab. Use the Google Drive tab to find and submit file(s) from your Google Drive.

Note: On a Chromebook, you could find your Google Drive files using the "File Upload" tab; however, this will cause problems. Instead, use the Google Drive tab to find and submit files in your Google Drive.

3. Google Drive Icon On the Rich Content Editor Toolbar

If you use the Google Drive icon on the Rich Content Editor toolbar, Canvas will give your teacher viewing permission to your live Google file. This means your teacher will see the most current version of your file at all times.
