We will redirect to library page while clicking library link
in Site Contents. We have three
options to upload files in library.
Option 1
We will create MS office oriented files and upload a
existing file from client machine using new
document option.
Option 2
We have an option to upload a file in Ribbon at top.
We can get the file upload dialog while clicking Upload Document. We can use Browse to find a document in our local
machine. Then Click OK.
The file name will be displayed in the grid of library page
after uploaded the document. Then we have option to Preview the document with some valuable options like Delete, Edit
Property, Download Copy, Share and etc.
Option 3
We have a drag and drop option in library. This is newly added
feature in SharePoint 2013. We will get the uploading process with number of
files we dropped in library.
That's all we had knowledge to create a library with
uploading a document into it.
