There have been a lot of requests for Foldr to integrate with Canvas, and now it's happened!
Foldr 4.10 has introduced a Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) Provider. This means that you can now have one location (that's Foldr!) to access all of your files within Canvas - regardless of where they are stored (on-premise, in the cloud) - and attach them to assignments or submit them as homework. This is great news, as you no longer require extra plug-ins for Canvas.
