2. Dependent on what you are needing to upload, you will select either Add Files or Add Link. Please note, while Step 3 will cover how to add files, the steps will be the same for adding a link except that you will paste the needed URL in the designated Enter a URL... field. 
3. Use the "files field" to upload the needed file(s).
