How to embed Google Drive folder on a course page?

You can share files uploaded to the course with your learners. However, if you would like to share a large number of files in a folder structure, you might want to organise the files in folders or even subfolders. You can do that by saving the files in your Google Drive and embedding it on your course page.

Here's how:

Step 1:
Create a folder in your Google Drive and upload the files you'd like to share.

Step 2:
Click on Shared settings of the folder.


Step 3:
Set the folder's privacy to Anyone on the internet with this link can view.


Step 4:
Check the URL in the browser address bar. It will look something like this:


Step 5:
Copy the last part of the URL. (after /)

Step 6:
Go to the course page you'd like to embed in your course.

Step 7:
Add an iFrame component or a RAW HTML component.

Step 8:
In the Source box enter the following:
<iframe src="https://drive.google.com/embeddedfolderview?id=SHARED-FOLDER-ID#list" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>
and replace the SHARED-FOLDER-ID value with the code you saved in Step 4.

Step 9:
You can adapt WIDTH and HEIGHT of the embedded iframe to match your needs if necessary, and click on Done.
