D2L Brightspace v10.7 Daylight Upload a File into Manage Files Demo

Welcome to the ‘Uploading a File for Later Use in Your Course’ Demo.
In this demo, you will learn how to upload and save a file in your D2L Brightspace class, without actually posting it at that time.
At the end of this demo, you will be able to upload and save a file to manage files in your D2L Brightspace shell for later retrieval to use whenever you’d like. This way, your file will always be accessible to you from wherever you are.

First, login to your D2L Brightspace account and go into your course.

On the course navigation bar, click on the Course Tools dropdown menu. Then choose the Content link.

Click on the Related Tools drop-down menu.
Select Manage Files.

You can also get here by clicking on Edit Course on the course navigation bar, and then clicking on Manage Files.

This takes you to an area similar to ‘My Documents’ on your computer. It is a ‘behind the scenes area’ where all of your files are stored and managed. Students can not see files in this area. This is your ‘holding area’ for files that you are using or might later use in your course.

Select the folder where you would like to store this file, or create a new folder.
Click the green circle Upload Button.

A drag and drop box opens for you. Separately, locate the file you wish to upload on your computer and left click, hold and drag the file to the drag and drop section.
