Tip: Things look a little different on mobile view, so if you're trying to upload from a mobile, please check out How to upload files for tasks using a mobile device.

Note: If you continue to have trouble uploading a file to a task, please contact your learning provider as they will be able to help.

How to find your upload file task

In your course, find the task that requires you to upload a file:

  • Head to Tasks in the left menu.

  • Choose either Assessed or Non-assessed.

  • Use Go to page to see what you need to do for the task.

Tip: You can also use Show: Not completed to further refine your results as it's likely you haven't completed the task if you're here!

  • Cloud storage options: You can connect a chosen cloud storage - Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google drive - (you will be asked to sign in) and choose a file from there.
