# File upload animated icon

The file goes up. Light: the arrow sinks toward the port to load, and the port gives under it, dipping and spreading; then the arrow launches up beside the sheet, overshoots and settles 4.5 units higher, where it stays, while the port springs back. Strong: a deeper load, a harder launch that settles in two beats, and a bigger give that settles in two beats. The preview reset fades it back to the prepared arrow.
