Access shared materials

In Files, you can open materials you have access to.

How to access materials

1. Open Files and locate the material.
2. If it is inside a folder, double-click the folder or open its three-dot menu and select Open.
3. Open the file’s three-dot menu and select Preview, or double-click the file.
4. To return to the initial list, select All files in the path above the items.

PDFs, images, audio and video have built-in previews. For links, Preview asks for confirmation before opening the destination in another tab.

If you need help

• The material is missing: ask your teacher or school manager to check that it is shared with your account.
• The preview does not open: the format may not be supported. Use Download, if available, or ask your teacher for another format.
• Download is missing: your school may restrict downloads. Links cannot be downloaded.
