By Dropbox, I am assuming that you are wanting to integrate Dropbox.com with your Canvas course so that students can submit files from their own Dropbox account to your Canvas assignment. That being said, you would need to make sure that the Dropbox LTI has been added to Canvas.either at the course level or the account level. The Assignment Dropbox allows students to submit files to the instructor. Using the electronic submission of files is a great way to organize student submissions. There is no need for participants to email assignments where submissions are often difficult to keep track of or organize. Building an Assignment Dropbox On the navbar, click Assignments and Choose Dropbox On the Dropbox page, click New Folder Enter a Name (1), Instructions (2), and add any Attachments (3). Select an Assignment Type, Individual assignment or Group assignment. Group assignment enables you to have one submission per group, but you must associate the assignment.

A separate Dropbox Folder is required for each assessment item submission. Linking a Dropbox Folder to a Grade item allows scores and feedback to be transferred to the Gradebook, making it easy to keep track of student progress and other course assessment items.
