The Locker is an electronic storage area for you to store your files. You can upload and download files from any computer and use them in D2L or transfer them from one computer to another. Only the owner of the Locker can view its contents unless the owner decides to mark something as public. If something is public than anyone that is in a D2L Course Site the owner is also in can see this file.
Use your lLocker to upload and store personal files. All files that are stored in the Locker are confidential and can only be accessed by you. This tool is especially useful if you work on multiple workstations (home/dorm, library, info commons, OSCR Labs, or a friend's computer) as you can store and access information in a central and stable location. If you wish, you can make certain files public for all users that are in any of your courses to see.
Different file types can be stored in the Locker, including word processing documents, spreadsheets, Zip files, and graphics. Each file type is represented by the graphic beside the file name.
You can always access the Locker by going to the My Home screen (you are placed automatically on this sreen when you log in) and clicking the link to the Locker in the upper left corner of the screen. You can access the Locker from inside a course if the instructor has not disabled the feature for his or her course.
Currently there is no limit to the number of files you can upload, but the Locker's space limit is 20 MB.
