I personally like the camera **and** paperclip idea. But I’m biased because that’s what I’m doing…

@mcwumbly in up arrow’s defense: [Should attaching an image be more obvious? - #5 by codinghorror](https://meta.discourse.org/t/should-attaching-an-image-be-more-obvious/31315/5)

However the paperclip is overwhelmingly used (life according to Google Images) when you search “attach icon”

I think for a user’s understanding, “attach” is probably a better verb and related icon than “upload.”
