Upload

Definitions

1. The transfer of data from a local client to a remote server, typically via HTTP multipart form data, FTP, or a cloud storage API. In web applications, uploads often involve streaming the file to avoid loading it entirely into memory.

   In plain English: Sending a file from your device to a server or cloud service over the internet.

   Example: "We stream uploads directly to S3 with presigned URLs so the file never hits our application server."
