About the Locker Tool
The Locker is an electronic storage area for you and your students. You can upload and download files from your home or office computer and use them in D2L or transfer them from one computer to another. Your students can use this space in a similar manner; however, only the owner of the locker can view its contents unless the owner of the locker has chosen to make his or her files public.
How Do I Add Files?
- Click on the Locker link.
- To add a new file to your Locker, click the
button. An Upload Files window will appear. - If necessary, add a description for the file you are going to upload. If you do not need to add a description, please proceed to the next step.
- You may wish to make your files public. This will enable any D2L user who shares a course with you to access your locker. If you would like to enable this feature, click the check box to the left of 'Make uploaded file(s) public to others'.
- Select the files to upload by clicking the Browse button to the right of the numbered box. A new window will open. Please locate your file on your computer and select Open.
- The path of the file selected will appear in the numbered box. If you wish to upload another file, select the Add button and repeat Step 4.
- When you are ready to upload the file or files, click the Upload button. Depending on the size of the file, upload time may vary. Once the file is uploaded, you will be taken back to the locker where you can open it.
How Do I Open/View/Retrieve Files?
From the Locker view, you can click on the File Name and a window will popup asking you if you want to Save to Disk, Open with or Cancel. Choose Save. We recommend saving to the Desktop as this location is easy to find once the file is saved.
How Do I Delete Files?
To delete an existing file, select the checkbox beside the file name and click the Delete icon. A new window will pop up asking you to confirm your decision, click Delete or Cancel to return to the locker.
