Requesting a Feature: Restricting File Type Uploads

Feature idea (LEVEL 2)
Jennifer Reynoso Haymond

Hello! I am a teacher and teach courses on Buzz. I also teach courses on Canvas. On Canvas there is a feature that allows teachers to restrict file type uploads. This is helpful because it prevents students from submitting strange file types we cannot open or access normally. We would like to be able to restrict the file type submissions (to doc, docx, ppt, PDF, etc.) on select assignments. Adding this feature to Buzz would help many teachers and students!

I can't tell you how many times I have had to remind students abiut this. A feature where they could not do it at all would save so much effort on both ends - the kids don't have to resubmit and teachers don't have to harp on the "No Google"rule.

Yes! Google links not being accepted would save so much time and confusion.

This would be a huge help, and it keeps from damaging our devices with corrupted file types.

Yes let's please limit submissions based on file types. We should also be able to disable Google connectivity.
