Summary

Analyze keywords

🤦🏻‍♂️ The purpose of creating Canvas Files Downloader extension is to facilitate the process of downloading files especially in the modules tab/path; because currently in order for students to download a file , they have to make multiple of clicks to do so.

🎯 The alternative solution is to allow students to either download all attachments by selecting all or download only the selected ones in modules, pages, assignments, and wiki tab or path. If there is an attachment in any of these paths, users will get the download button.

💡 To better use Canvas files Downloader to full extent: Turn off/ disable the "Ask where to save each file before downloading" option on chrome://settings/downloads so that you download the files immediately without getting the popup dialog

Went out of my way to give a great review on this marvellous creation. Thanks to you I didn't have to download 43 lesson files from Canvas one by one per module. 1 click, and it's done.

Works on my school's Canvas. I also like that it asks where to download each file to make organizing easier.

Doesn't appear to be working in latest version of Canvas- will give 5 stars if this is fixed and functions as advertised
