3 Ways To Upload A Single File To A SharePoint Library
A SharePoint Online tutorial by Peter Kalmström
This
is the second tutorial about adding files to SharePoint
document libraries. Please study the
introduction if
you have not already done that. It contains some general
information about SharePoint file upload that you should
be aware of.
In the demo below Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems Designer
of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, describes three ways
to add a single file to a SharePoint document library.
Peter is using Office 365 SharePoint for the demo, but the
processes are similar in SharePoint 2016, 2013 and 2010.
Methods to upload a single file to a SharePoint library
Use the SharePoint Upload button.
Drag a file from the file system on the PC
to the library. (The drag and drop method only works
with the latest browser versions. If you are using Office
2013 or later, it also works with earlier versions of
Internet Explorer. Refer to
Microsoft's guidelines.)
Save an Office file directly from your PC
to a SharePoint library.
In the
next article we describe how to add multiple files to
SharePoint.
Note: all metadata is not kept when you transfer files to
SharePoint.
