Canvas - Storing Data Outside of Canvas [UW-Madison]

This document describes alternatives to storing course files in Canvas.

In Canvas, each course is allocated 2GB of storage. This is a temporary increase during the COVID-19 campus closure, but will be reset to 1GB at a future date (to be determined).

In addition to keeping things below the Canvas course quota, there can be other advantages to storing content outside of Canvas. These include being able to link to materials from multiple courses, as well as easily retaining your materials in the event that courses would be purged from Canvas in the future.

Please consider the following options for storing content outside of your Canvas course.
