Files and Attachments
Understand where files appear, how attachments are used, and what users should check before sharing.
Where files are used
Files can appear in several places, including materials, submissions, chat, mail, profile photos, organization branding, and receipts.
- Materials are usually shared with an entire class.
- Submissions are usually shared from a student to a teacher.
- Receipts and finance attachments should be clear enough for staff to verify.
- Profile and branding images should be appropriate for school use.
Chat and Mail attachments
Supported Chat and Mail attachments are encrypted before upload. The original file name and type are protected with the attachment, and download happens from a trusted device.
Safe sharing
Check before uploading
Only upload files that are safe and appropriate to share with the selected audience. Avoid sharing private student information unless it is needed for the task.
