Canvas@Illinois, Files
This page has a link to Canvas documentation on files
The Files area of Canvas can house course files, assignments, syllabi, readings, or other documents, as well as profile pictures and user-specific files. Instructors can lock folders and files so they can only be viewed by direct links or only unlock on a specific date.
Files can be placed in Modules, Assignments, or Pages. Files and folders are put in alphabetical order and cannot be rearranged.
The following link from Instructure (the company that provides Canvas) contains instructions on how to create and use Files: What are Files?
