By default, each course has 5GB (5000MB) of storage space in Canvas. Files that count against the storage limit include:
Increasing your Canvas course’s storage limit requires a consult to evaluate file storage usage. If you are currently storing Zoom/Webex recording in Canvas Files, additional storage increase requests will be denied.
Rutgers offers alternative storage options available for faculty, staff, and students. These services have unlimited storage and are directly integrated into Canvas. It is advised that media files should be uploaded into the My Kaltura Media tool in your Canvas course.
Users can securely create, upload, and share rich media content. Faculty and staff using Canvas can access their My Kaltura Media account in the global navigation.
Within a course, you can choose and post videos from your My Kaltura Media collection for your students to view in the context of the course.
If you have never used the Kaltura Course Gallery, you may need to manage your course navigation links. Review the instructions on how to add videos to the Kaltura Course Gallery.
Instructors can add files from their Box accounts into Canvas Pages and Modules or utilize the embed functionality within your courses. To get started, check your Rutgers Services and make sure you have an active Box account.
If you have never used Box in Canvas, you may need to manage your course navigation links.
To embed a file from Box into a Rich Content Editor, please do the following:
Instructors can use the OneDrive from their Rutgers Connect account. Files can be uploaded to the Canvas Office 365 app and then create a hyperlink to that document anywhere you can use the Rich Content Editor in Canvas. Several features in Canvas support the Rich Content Editor, including Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Pages, Quizzes, and Syllabus.
Please review more information on Microsoft OneDrive and Canvas Integration.
Google Drive is available for staff and faculty through ScarletApps (Google). Similar to Box, Google Drive can add files into Canvas Pages and Modules or utilize the embed functionality within your courses. Files can be uploaded to Google Drive and linked using the Rich Content Editor in Canvas or external tool.
Users looking to use their Google accounts may need to add an additional email to their Canvas account. Please read the Google LTI – User Account Best Practices.
