Uploading
Uploading is the process of transmitting digital files from one computer system to another. For instance, sending files from a local computer to a larger computer system. Uploading is typically facilitated over the internet using file transfer protocol (FTP), an internet protocol for downloading and uploading computer files.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About Uploading
Without the uploading process, many popular social media applications such as Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok would be unable to operate. Allowing users to upload photos and videos from one’s camera roll is the main function of these applications. Small and midsize businesses depend on these types of applications because they provide a low-cost way to market their product or service offerings to their customer base.
