Webdrop 2.0

Check Upload Attempts

You can check to see how many times a particular student has uploaded a file with the same name. This could indicate that a revision to the original file was uploaded, using the same file name. Or it could indicate that the student is having trouble uploading files and is not sure that the first attempt was successful.

If a file has been uploaded multiple times, the most recent copy is available for download by the faculty member or teaching assistant.

To check the number of upload attempts for a file by a student:

1. If you have not done so already, access the webdrop program at: https://webdrop.d.umn.edu. You will need to authenticate using your x.500 username and password
