Hi @Naarin Raj

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on the information you have provided, looks like you don't have Upload Button in SharePoint site.

First, please double check if the affected users have the permission to edit the site. If the users only have read permission, the button will not show up.

User's image

May I know if the problem happens in SharePoint app or SharePoint Online? If it happens in SharePoint app, does the problem persist in SharePoint Online?

Please provide more information so I can assist you better.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi @Naarin Raj

Thanks for your response.
If the users already had the permission and unable to see the upload button, you need to grant them edit permission again.

Go to Settings > Site Permissions > Advance Permissions Settings

Choose Members of the site you want.

Then add the affected users in this group to give them edit permission again.
I hope this helps.

Hi @Naarin Raj
Here are some possible ways to fix this:

Try using incognito mode to access SharePoint.

Clear Cache and Cookies of your browser reload the page.

Try using other browsers to check if it works.

I hope these will fix your problem.
