Although on each projects files can be uploaded, a family of projects may have designated one in particular for this, with sharing of those files enabled. For Wikimedia projects this is [[commons:|Wikicommons]] (free content only, no "fair use" content), in general this is referred to below as Commons.
To upload a file, go to Commons, [[commons:Special:Userlogin|log in there]], and upload the file using the [[commons:Special:Upload|Upload link]].
If you want to replace an existing file, give it the same name, and otherwise a name that does not exist yet. Be careful with replacing or deleting an image on Commons, a complication is that the "Image links" section on the image description page on Commons does not show usage of the image by other projects.
