How do I embed an image from Google Drive?

Canvas has a limited amount of storage for each user but you can use other hosting services such as Google Drive to host the file and then embed the image within Canvas. 

1. Upload your image(s) to your Google account or locate the image online you want to use.

You can access your Google account through the student Gmail login and by clicking on the apps icon near the top right. 

2. Find the image in your Google Drive or upload it by dragging your file to your drive or by clicking on the "+ New" button to upload a new file.

3. Go to the page, assignment, discussion, etc. in Canvas where you want to embed the image. Click the spot in the text editor where you would like to place this image.

This requires a page with the rich text editor (the one with the formatting tools above it). Most text fields on Canvas use the rich text editor.

4. Select the Google Drive LTI tool and sign in to your Google account if you're not already. 

5. Click the Select File button to bring up your recent files. Click on the image and then click Add. A popup will appear asking if you want to attach the file and change the sharing permissions so that people can view the image. Click Attach to confirm. 

6. Click, Reply, Post, Save, etc. once you're done editing/writing to finalize the content.
