Explain whether you are sending or receiving a file.

The idea, simply

Download means receiving a file on your device; upload means sending it from your device. We say download from and upload to. A file sent with an email is an attachment, and the verb is attach: I attached the file.

Examples

  • I am uploading the file to the folder.

  • Please download the report to your computer.

  • I attached the file to the email.

Lesson words
