How to upload files in the new version of Tulip/MySites/SharePoint2010?

Well hopefully by now you've all seen the new set up of the Tulip/MySites this is down to uni updating its systems with SharePoint 2010 which is actually a really good upgrade for a quick overview of the updates (if your interested in such things) have a look here (or skip to find out how to upload files):



Right so how do I upload?

  1. Log into the portal like you would normally
  2. Go to the site your wanting to upload a file to (for this example I'm using a subsite of my MySite).
  3. Within said site go to a document library all Teaching and Learning sites have a "Shared Documents" folder by default so go to there. For my example I'm going to use the "Case-Loading" folder in my Eportfolio subsite. 
  4. Within your document library you should see something similar to this:



  5. As noted select the "Documents" link at the top which should change the "Ribbon" to have contextual information which will hopefully be quite self explanatory:




  6. From this select "Upload Document" and the following should pop up:

  7. It should be quite self explanatory what to do next particularity if you've ever uploaded anything on the internet before, in case your mind fails you select "browse" and find the file your aiming to upload.
  8. It'll take a couple seconds to upload (depending upon your internet connection). You will then be greeted with a quick edit panel (I'm assuming this'll get removed in the not to distant future)
    you'll need to fill out all fields marked with an *, once done select "Save" and your done.

Hope this is of some help to you, please comment or email me if you need any points explained etc.
