How to Upload

Uploading means sending a file from your device to a website, form, email, or app.

Find the upload button

Look for words like Upload, Attach, Choose File, Browse, or Add File.

  1. Click the upload or attach button.
  2. Choose the file from Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Photos, or Files.
  3. Wait until the file name appears on the page.

Check before submitting

A file is usually attached only after you see its name listed near the form or message.

  1. Confirm the right file name appears.
  2. Remove the file if it is wrong.
  3. Click submit or send only after the upload finishes.
Try this: If nothing happens, check whether the file is too large or the wrong type.
Final takeaway: Choose the file, wait for the name to appear, then submit.
