How do my students share their completed drawing with me?  I am their instructor.

Have them click on the Share button and enter the email associated with your account. Make sure they give you Edit and Share privileges. Sharing is for the entire document. When I grade, I have the students make a version that tells you what they want graded. I switch into that version and use the commenting tool to leave them feedback.

Have you ever had a situation where a student could not share a model/drawing?

I'm not a teacher, but in my experience on a high school robotics team, sharing always worked (we didn't experience bugs with it). However, in some cases, you can view a document, but you can't share it:

1. If person A shares a document with person B, person B isn't necessarily able to share it further to person C. If A didn't give B permission to share the document further, B can't share it further.

2. You also can't activate the share dialog on a document that you have not been given access to (e.g. a public document or a document shared by a link that you are viewing). However, you can pass on the link in that case.

I might be forgetting some more special cases to be aware of (particularly if you have the education enterprise tier--I have 0 experience with enterprise stuff and I know the enterprise has extra data security controls for admins). However, in short, if a student has created a document themselves on the standard education plan, they are always able to share it with anyone.
