  2. Create a new folder for your recordings.
  3. Upload your files to the new folder
  4. Click the share button for the folder and enter your student’s pcc email address. Set the permission to “View.”

Note: Be aware of FERPA concerns and do not share videos with students who are not enrolled in the section if the recordings include any student names or likenesses.
