+## File Upload
+
+File Upload is an interactive component that allows users to upload files in modals. File Uploads can be configured to have a minimum and maximum number of files between 0 and 10, along with `required` for if the upload is required to submit the modal. The max file size a user can upload is based on the user's upload limit in that channel.
+
+File Uploads are available on modals. They must be placed inside a [Label](/docs/components/reference#label).
