How do I manage my User Files in the Student app on my Android device?
You can manage all the personal files in your Canvas account in the Canvas Student app.
If you want an uploaded file to appear in a specific folder, open the folder before uploading the file. File items that are uploaded in the Root User Folder will be placed in the unfiled folder.
