Hi @preshen.kissoon

If this is a web page, written in HTML that uses HTTP forms to upload a file, THERE IS an input field. Try using the **[DevTools](http://forum.katalon.com/t/how-to-the-browser-developer-tools-f12-devtools/34329/)** to examine the relevant HTML. The input is probably hidden, either directly or by CSS.

So i managed to use the custom keyword for uploading however it takes me to the path and isnt finding my file. And the file definitely is in the folder.

Ok cool i managed to sort my issue out, added in a delay after the custom keyword , maybe it couldnt find the file that quick.😀
