I want to move only my Resources folder to Canvas.
You can download and upload your Resources folder in two ways: 1.) using WebDAV/Cyberduck and 2.) downloading your course Resources in Common Cartridge format. The first method allows you to open and see the folders and files in your course on your computer desktop easily. The second method generates a file that can be imported into Canvas to replicate the directory structure of your current Resources folder. Please be aware that hyperlinks to external websites cannot be downloaded or migrated. You will need to recreate these in Canvas separately.

Common Cartridge Method
Other Tips
- You can also upload content into Google Drive and access your Google Drive from within Canvas.
- We recommend storing video and audio in Google Drive for superior media streaming.
- Save your syllabus in the Resources folder if you wish to migrate it. The Syllabus tool in CLEo cannot be moved directly to Canvas.
