Notes About Sharing Folders

• Sharing a folder will share all files and links within that folder. 

• Students will not see folders on their account. They will only see the individual files and links within that folder.

• Adding a new file or link to a shared folder will not automatically share it with students. The file/link or folder must be re-shared to grant students access.
