  • Locate any large files that can be moved to a different storage location such as Google Drive or Panopto.

Best Practices with File Storage

Use Google Drive:

Use Panopto:

Canvas is not optimized for video storage and playback. For this reason, we have invested in Panopto which is a video platform available to all Boise State faculty, staff, and students. Panopto integrates with Canvas for your convenience.

  • Once the files ares successfully moved. Use the integrations to post the content on Canvas.

  • Delete the unneeded Files from Canvas.
