Adding Files to a Locker

Overview

You need to upload a file to the School Loop portal to share it with other users (e.g., in a group, submit it as an assignment, or provide to students as an additional learning material for a course). Locker is a feature that you can use to upload, store, and share files and documents.

Prerequisites

You have a registered student or school staff member account.
Note: Parents do not have lockers. But they can access classroom lockers.

Solution

1. Log in to your School Loop account.
2. Click My Locker at the top of the page.
   
   
   
   
3. Select a locker to which you want to add a file:
   
   • My Lockers - Files are available only to the owner.
   • Course Lockers - Files are available to students and teachers for the course. Students can only view files, while teachers can add, edit, and delete files.
   • Group Lockers - Files are available for all members of the corresponding group.
   • User Site Lockers - Files are available to the owner of the user site (e.g., "My Website" for a teacher).
   • Website Lockers - Files are available to school site webmasters.
     
     
     
     
4. Click Add and select File.
   Note: You can also add a Link or a Folder.
   
   
   
   
5. Browse and select the required file on your computer and click Open.
   Note: Files cannot be larger than 500 Mb and filenames cannot contain any of the following symbols: % ^ & + { } | \
   
   
   
   
6. The Upload Complete message is displayed. Click Minimize This Window.
   
   

Confirmation

Once the file is uploaded, you can click on its name;  the file is downloaded and you can review its content to make sure it is accessible to other users.
