You don’t need to learn everything today. Just start here.
Lesson 1
Upload means give the website a file
What this is
Uploading happens when a website asks for a file from your device.
Job applications and forms use uploads all the time.
Try this
- Find the page asking for a file
- Look for Upload or Choose File
- Pause and decide which file you need
Tip: The website is asking you to point to one file.
Lesson 2
Use the file picker window
What this is
After you click Upload, a file picker opens.
That window is your device asking what file to use.
Try this
- Look for Downloads or Documents
- Open the folder where the file lives
- Select the file once
Tip: If the window opens, the upload process started.
Lesson 3
Confirm it worked
What this is
Most websites show the file name after you choose it.
That name is your clue that the site has the file.
Try this
- Look for the file name on the page
- Check that it is the right file
- Continue or submit when it looks right
Tip: If the wrong file appears, remove it and choose again.
Done
You finished this
You learned how websites receive files.
Uploading is choosing one file for a website.
That is a skill you can repeat.
If you ever get stuck, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
