# Upload and register a small file

Uploads a small file directly to Lingopal and registers it as media or a document. For files larger than the direct upload limit, use `/v2/storage/uploads` multipart upload. Provide target languages and translation context later through the appropriate `/v2/jobs/{job_id}` workflow endpoint.
