You can upload media files here without creating a post first. This allows you to upload files to use with posts and pages later and/or to get a web link for a particular file that you can share. There are three options for uploading files:

• Drag and drop your files into the area below. Multiple files are allowed.
• Clicking Select Files opens a navigation window showing you files in your operating system. Selecting Open after clicking on the file you want activates a progress bar on the uploader screen.
• Revert to the Browser Uploader by clicking the link below the drag and drop box.
