Once you've clicked on Upload, you'll need to choose the file you'd like to upload. When you've found the file, click open.
3. Once you've begun the upload, you'll be taken to the progress and configuration screen. If it's only one file, it'll show the progress at the top. The file will be dark blue green while it's processing and turn green when it's ready. If there are multiple files, they will be displayed sequentially at the bottom of the screen with the first file at the very top.
If you close out of the 'Upload & Share ' screen, you can go back at any time to it by clicking on "Processing file..." 'Uploading' on the top right corner.
4. Additionally, you can give a title to your file, add descriptions and keywords and set privacy settings. To configure who has access permissions, click on "Change" on the right side under who has access. You may configure who has access to the file from this drop down menu.
5. Finally, to share the file, add usernames from your group or type in an e-mail you'd like to share to. Once you've added all the users, hit save to share. The users will receive an e-mail notification with a direct link to the file.

Depending on the file size it may take several minutes to upload, and you'll get a "processing file" message until its ready. When it's completely ready you'll see a thumbnail preview.
