As an instructor, you may be added to a group within your institution. Groups files include any content uploaded to your group workspace.

Group files include uploaded assignment submissions, files for projects, and other group-related items. By default, each group has 50 MB of storage space in Canvas. Administrators can change the quota for the entire institution or on a group-by-group basis.

Group files are automatically published when they are uploaded to the group.

As groups are essentially mini courses, all group members have the same permissions to moderate files, including uploading files, publishing files, restricting access and unpublishing files, and deleting files.
