Usage

This is an informal Anglicism widely used in Brazilian Portuguese, especially among younger speakers and in tech contexts. The standard Portuguese alternatives are "carregar" or "enviar," but "uploadar" is extremely common in everyday speech. Conjugates as a regular -ar verb (uploado, uploadando, etc.).
