not allowed." for Assignments; and as "This file extension is not allowed for

5. Once selected, your file will show up as a regular assignment file, and you can submit your assignment.
In order to be able to change accounts, you must log in to multiple Google accounts in Google Chrome. You can either log in to multiple accounts before you try to change, or you can select Use Another Account later in the process. After you have done this, you have the option to change accounts.
Note: You are also able to change which Google Drive accounts you are accessing. From any of the Google File Picker locations, simply select change next to the account name (and provide login credentials if prompted).
