Uppladdas

Uppladdas is a Swedish verb form related to the separable phrasal verb ladda upp, which means to upload or to load up. In many contexts, uppladdas denotes that something is being uploaded to a system, such as a server or cloud storage. The sense “to charge up” is also found in some technical or hardware-related contexts, though the more common usage today is uploading data or media.

Grammatically, uppladdas is treated as the present passive form of ladda upp. In everyday Swedish, the present passive is more often expressed with the two-word construction laddas upp (for example, Filerna laddas upp till molnet). The single-word form uppladdas is most likely to appear in formal writing, technical documentation, or user interface text where space is limited or where a concise, dictionary-like style is preferred.

Usage notes and contexts: uppladdas appears primarily in digital and IT contexts, such as when describing files, media, or data that are in the process of being transferred to another system. It can occur in status messages, logs, or documentation. When speaking or writing informally, speakers are more likely to use laddas upp.
