How do I upload a file to multiple File Drop folders?
An Instructor can upload copies of the same file to multiple students' File Drop folders simultaneously. Similarly, a collaboration site's Owner or Administrator can upload copies of the same file to multiple site members' File Drop folders.
Select the file.
- Select the Choose File or Browse... button, depending on your web browser, to browse for and select the file from your local computer.
- Optionally, you may type a Display Name of your file if you would like it to be different than the file name.
Select the destination folders for your file.
You will see a list of the student/member folders in your site File Drop. Select the student/member name, group, or roster from the list of Available users on the left and use the right arrow button (>) to move the name/group over to the Selected users on the right.
You can select multiple names or groups at once by holding down the Control (CTRL) (Command on a Mac) or SHIFT key on your keyboard and choosing the names/groups to select. Hold the SHIFT key to select several names/groups that appear consecutively in the list. Hold the CTRL (Command on a Mac) key to select multiple individual names/groups.
Email notification (Optional).
In a course site, if you want students to be notified about the file upload, select the box next to Send an email notification to the student. To notify members in a collaboration site, the option is Send an email notification to the user.
