Upload a File

Files that exist on your computer can be uploaded easily into a SharePoint library. As a user you can upload one file or multiple files at a time. Remember that when you upload the file/s to a library you are making a copy and the original file/s still exists on your computer. Once uploaded you should update the more widely shared file/s in SharePoint rather than work on the copy on your computer.

Files can also be uploaded to a library by dragging (Classic) the file from your computer, onto the library in your web browser. To upload a file/s using the task bar rather than drag and drop, follow these steps:

	Navigate to the desired library
	Click Upload
	If your browser supports folders (e.g. Firefox,  Chrome), select Files from the dropdown menu. You will not get this option in other browsers (e.g. IE11)
	Select the file/s you wish to upload
	At the bottom of Windows Explorer click on Open..
	To overwrite existing files with the same name click on the message in the top right of the task bar
	Click Replace in the Progress Pane
