Instructors: Linking to CBD's Google Drive files in Moodle

Large files in Moodle can create issues when your course is copied. To reduce the strain on the system, you can upload large files to your course's Google Drive folder and link to them in Moodle. By using the shared folder, you ensure that your program Admins and future teachers have access if necessary.

7. Drag and drop your file to upload it. Then, open your file and click the Share icon in the upper right

8. Be sure your settings are set to "Anyone on the internet with this link can view." If you see a different setting, click Change. Then, click copy link. 

Note: be sure you do not have sharing settings set to edit.
