➡ To upload a file to a remote Selenium WebDriver, it's best to use Selenium Java's first-class inbuilt features. Using SendKeys, you can do that. It directly applies to input tags that have an attribute as type=’file’.
➡ For uploading files in Selenium Remote WebDriver, you can leverage the setFileDetector method. This method allows you to upload files to a local or remote machine for Selenium testing. This feature eliminates the need to write separate Selenium code for uploading files to a local or remote web application.
➡ LambdaTest now allows you to work with upload file functionality on the cloud-based Selenium Grid and test the upload feature on 3000+ browser and OS combinations.

Excellent video, highly appreciated . It looks, downloading files in cloud environment is not covered . Am working on a scenario, where. i have to download PDF files (on selenium grid /sauce labs env) and read and validate the content . the challenge i was facing is files are downloaded on slave nodes and when i try to do the validation, file is not present where the java code is running . Any references would help me . Thanks

Hi instead of input tag img tag is there unable to upload a file in java

[DuyPham]

I am automating a nextjs web which has no input tag, only button select file so the sendkey method is not working. I try to use robot class but it fails when run headless environment. Anything helps with this pls?

[KhoiNguyenQ]

Awesome! With SharePoint, I couldn't find the input. Is there a way to make it visible?

[lmvtheodoro]

Nice approach. But what about when it is a span button instead of an input?
