My Question or Issue

 I am unsure how to upload local files. I tried following the directions on the Spotify website but they are outdated, or meant for a different device.

Hey @Ko20,

 

Thanks. The reason you're unable to do this is because you can't upload local files via Chromebook since it's using the Android mobile app. You need a desktop app (Windows or Mac) for that. 

 

Hope this helps!
