How to add attachments to a class

How to upload files to a class and set who can see them. Each file can be up to 10 MB, or 25 MB on Pro.

Written by Abdullah Al-Hussein

Attachments let you share class notes, documents and resources directly inside a class. Each attachment has a visibility setting that controls whether students can see it.

Your school may use different names for students, teachers and classes. If you don't see the menu items below, ask your admin to check your permissions.

Adding an attachment to a class

  1. Go to Classes in the left-hand menu.

  2. Open the class you want to add the attachment to.

  3. Open the Attachments tab.

  4. Click Add attachment.

  5. Upload your file from your computer, the Library, Dropbox or Google Drive.

  6. Choose a visibility setting and save.

The attachment then appears in the class attachment list.

File size limit

Each file can be up to 10 MB, or 25 MB on Teach 'n Go Pro. A larger file is rejected when you upload it, with a message showing the limit for your plan.

There is no limit on the number of files you upload. For anything larger than your plan allows:

For what else Pro includes, see Teach 'n Go Pro.

Viewing attachments

  • Images and PDF files — open directly in Teach 'n Go

  • Other file types — such as Word or Excel files, are downloaded before viewing

Attachment visibility

  • Private — visible to admins and teachers only

  • Shared — visible to students as well as staff

  • Admin only — visible to admins only, and only admins can choose this setting

To change the visibility later, edit the attachment and pick a different setting. If a student can't see an attachment, check that it is set to Shared.
