Downloading Showbie Files - computer

Tutorial Summary: This guide will show you how to download files from a student's Showbie account while using a computer. This can be done while signed in with a student or parent account.

If using a parent account, make sure you are connected to your child's class by using the teacher provided parent code. If you do not have a code and are unable to request one from your child's teacher, sign in to Showbie using your child's student account and follow the student instructions for this tutorial.
