  4. Hit ‘Create’ when finished.
  5. Tap your new folder to open.
  6. Once you’re in the folder of your choice, select the rainbow ‘plus’ symbol once more.

  8. Select the location where your files are saved and tap each file(s) you want to upload.

    Note: Some Android models will automatically upload the file as you tap each file
