Sending and Receiving Files
Overview
With LanSchool, teachers can send a folder full of files from the teacher's computer to one or more student computers. Then, once students have modified the files, teachers can collect them back on the teacher computer. Each students' files will be neatly organized into sub-folders.
Sending and receiving files is only supported with Windows and macOS student devices.
