Upload Documents in SharePoint 2013
Posted: December 31, 2012 Filed under: SharePoint | Tags: 2013 6 CommentsThere are at least two ways to upload documents to a SharePoint 2013 library.
- Old School – Click on Documents tab and in the New Group, select Upload. Just like in 2007 and 2010.
- New School – Just drag and drop the document into the library. No need to open in Explorer View, get a cup of coffee while you wait for it to open, and then drag and drop files.

Hey Tamara! 
I am the Project Manager for a Credit Union and we are about to transition to Sharepoint. What is the best way for me to get up to speed on what it does and how to use it? I don’t need an IT perspective but rather a high level how to explain and operate. I read a lot and can learn from many different methods so I am open to books, class, online etc…
Are you transitioning to SharePoint 2010 or 2013? There is ton of content out there for 2010. Less so for 2013. Let me know which version and I’ll point you to some good content.
2010
There is a great video on You Tube called “SharePoint in Plain English” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s12Jb5Z2xaE
It describes SharePoint from a Project Manager’s point of view, without ever going into SharePoint.
After that I would ask, “What do you want to do? What do you want to do better?” The answers to those questions will help you decide where to start in SharePoint.
As to classes, I like the Mindsharp classes http://www.mindsharp.com/Pages/ClassList.aspx for a combination of overview/lecture and hands-on labs.
Asif Rehmani has great webinars and videos. http://sharepoint-videos.com/ and http://www.youtube.com/user/asifrehmani
Check out the Community Site NothingButSharePoint.com. Great informaiton. Wonderful authors. Real world issues and solutions.
There are a ton of books. Here are just a couple I recommend when people are trying to envision how to use SharePoint.
