# ViewUpload

The file that you want to upload and view.

You can use this parameter to directly upload a file to the View component to view immediately, even if it does not have access to the original file. You must upload the file as `multipart/form-data`. To use this parameter, you must send the View action as a POST request.

When you send View actions with the `ViewUpload` parameter to a Distributed Action Handler set up to distribute View requests by reference, you can add the Reference parameter for consistent routing. For more information about distribution by reference, refer to the Distributed Action Handler Administration Guide.
