Summary

Instructors can add files from a cloud storage service to Blackboard.

Instructions

Blackboard supports the following cloud services: OneDrive, Box, OneDrive for Business, Dropbox, and Google Drive.

Add a Cloud-Based File

  • From the "Attach Files" menu, select "Browse Cloud Storage"
  • In the pop-up menu, select a web app from the menu and select a file
  • Click "Select" to add the file to your page

When you add a file from cloud storage, the system makes a copy of the file in your course. The files aren't linked. Any change you make to a file within your course doesn't apply to the file in cloud storage.
