Upload

How it is used

Common for moving media or documents to social apps, cloud folders, or work systems. On some platforms, uploading the file and publishing the post are separate steps.

Example sentences

1. Please upload the edited video to the campaign folder before three o'clock so the designer can add subtitles and prepare the final post layout.

   Here, upload refers to transferring the file into a shared online location so another team member can access and work on it.

2. She uploaded the reel draft to the platform in the morning, but scheduled the actual post for the evening when the audience is usually more active.

   In this sentence, upload means placing the media file on the platform first; it does not mean the content became public immediately.
