When you upload something, lets use a photo in this situation, you would add it to a web page on the internet.

When you are adding new pictures in social media, you are uploading a photo file (JPEG/PNG etc) to a server on the internet.

Download is the exact opposite. You see a beautiful picture on Facebook and want to save it on your computer to look at anytime you want? You click download, this takes the file from the internet and copy’s it to your hard drive or physical storage device.

So in short

UPLOAD - files stored on your physical electronic device that you add to an internet server. Some uploads are private and some are public.

iCloud, Google Photos, Microsoft Word are all private file types in which you can upload them to the internet so you gain the ability to access them anywhere besides just the device you have the file saved on. Note that these apps/programs also allow you to change their privacy to share with others of your choice.

Download - You are taking a file that is stored on an internet server and downloading it to a physical drive. The file that you download has all of its data stored physically on your hard drive/USB flash drive/SD card etc.

On older devices and newer devices that value storage quantity over quality use hard drives with mechanic parts. A spinning wheel and needle have the file physically “etched” into a portion of your hard drive. Newer, more expensive computers use Solid State Drives. This usually comes at the trade off of losing storage capacity. However this storage is more secure, much faster read and write times for files and won't corrupt if you drop you computer accidentally since it is actually not a mechanical drive. Smart Phones always use flash storage and sd cards, Flash Drives also are flash.

hope this helps.....
