                  (for example, by using ``text.encode('utf-8')``).
                  A default file name will be used.

                * A bytes `io.IOBase` stream over the file to send
                  (for example, by using ``open(file, 'rb')``).
                  Its ``.name`` property will be used for the file name,
                  or a default if it doesn't have one.

                * An external URL to a file over the internet. This will
                  send the file as "external" media, and Telegram is the
                  one that will fetch the media and send it.

                * A Bot API-like ``file_id``. You can convert previously
                  sent media to file IDs for later reusing with
                  `telethon.utils.pack_bot_file_id`.

                * A handle to an existing file (for example, if you sent a
                  message with media before, you can use its ``message.media``
                  as a file here).

                * A handle to an uploaded file (from `upload_file`).

                * A :tl:`InputMedia` instance. For example, if you want to
                  send a dice use :tl:`InputMediaDice`, or if you want to
                  send a contact use :tl:`InputMediaContact`.

                To send an album, you should provide a list in this parameter.

                If a list or similar is provided, the files in it will be
                sent as an album in the order in which they appear, sliced
                in chunks of 10 if more than 10 are given.

            caption (`str`, optional):
                Optional caption for the sent media message. When sending an
                album, the caption may be a list of strings, which will be
                assigned to the files pairwise.

            force_document (`bool`, optional):
                If left to `False` and the file is a path that ends with
                the extension of an image file or a video file, it will be
                sent as such. Otherwise always as a document.

            mime_type (`str`, optional):
                Custom mime type to use for the file to be sent (for example,
                ``audio/mpeg``, ``audio/x-vorbis+ogg``, etc.).
                It can change the type of files displayed.
                If not set to any value, the mime type will be determined
                automatically based on the file's extension.

            file_size (`int`, optional):
                The size of the file to be uploaded if it needs to be uploaded,
                which will be determined automatically if not specified.

                If the file size can't be determined beforehand, the entire
                file will be read in-memory to find out how large it is.

            clear_draft (`bool`, optional):
                Whether the existing draft should be cleared or not.

            progress_callback (`callable`, optional):
                A callback function accepting two parameters:
                ``(sent bytes, total)``.

            reply_to (`int` | `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`):
                Same as `reply_to` from `send_message`.

            attributes (`list`, optional):
                Optional attributes that override the inferred ones, like
                :tl:`DocumentAttributeFilename` and so on.

            thumb (`str` | `bytes` | `file`, optional):
                Optional JPEG thumbnail (for documents). **Telegram will
                ignore this parameter** unless you pass a ``.jpg`` file!

                The file must also be small in dimensions and in disk size.
                Successful thumbnails were files below 20kB and 320x320px.
                Width/height and dimensions/size ratios may be important.
                For Telegram to accept a thumbnail, you must provide the
                dimensions of the underlying media through ``attributes=``
                with :tl:`DocumentAttributesVideo` or by installing the
                optional ``hachoir`` dependency.


            allow_cache (`bool`, optional):
                This parameter currently does nothing, but is kept for
                backward-compatibility (and it may get its use back in
                the future).

            parse_mode (`object`, optional):
                See the `TelegramClient.parse_mode
                <telethon.client.messageparse.MessageParseMethods.parse_mode>`
                property for allowed values. Markdown parsing will be used by
                default.

            formatting_entities (`list`, optional):
                Optional formatting entities for the sent media message. When sending an album,
                `formatting_entities` can be a list of lists, where each inner list contains
                `types.TypeMessageEntity`. Each inner list will be assigned to the corresponding
                file in a pairwise manner with the caption. If provided, the ``parse_mode``
                parameter will be ignored.

            voice_note (`bool`, optional):
                If `True` the audio will be sent as a voice note.

            video_note (`bool`, optional):
                If `True` the video will be sent as a video note,
                also known as a round video message.

            buttons (`list`, `custom.Button <telethon.tl.custom.button.Button>`, :tl:`KeyboardButton`):
                The matrix (list of lists), row list or button to be shown
                after sending the message. This parameter will only work if
                you have signed in as a bot. You can also pass your own
                :tl:`ReplyMarkup` here.

            silent (`bool`, optional):
                Whether the message should notify people with sound or not.
                Defaults to `False` (send with a notification sound unless
                the person has the chat muted). Set it to `True` to alter
                this behaviour.

            background (`bool`, optional):
                Whether the message should be send in background.

            supports_streaming (`bool`, optional):
                Whether the sent video supports streaming or not. Note that
                Telegram only recognizes as streamable some formats like MP4,
                and others like AVI or MKV will not work. You should convert
                these to MP4 before sending if you want them to be streamable.
                Unsupported formats will result in ``VideoContentTypeError``.

            schedule (`hints.DateLike`, optional):
                If set, the file won't send immediately, and instead
                it will be scheduled to be automatically sent at a later
                time.

            comment_to (`int` | `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`, optional):
                Similar to ``reply_to``, but replies in the linked group of a
                broadcast channel instead (effectively leaving a "comment to"
                the specified message).

                This parameter takes precedence over ``reply_to``. If there is
                no linked chat, `telethon.errors.sgIdInvalidError` is raised.

            ttl (`int`. optional):
                The Time-To-Live of the file (also known as "self-destruct timer"
                or "self-destructing media"). If set, files can only be viewed for
                a short period of time before they disappear from the message
                history automatically.

                The value must be at least 1 second, and at most 60 seconds,
                otherwise Telegram will ignore this parameter.

                Not all types of media can be used with this parameter, such
                as text documents, which will fail with ``TtlMediaInvalidError``.

            nosound_video (`bool`, optional):
                Only applicable when sending a video file without an audio
                track. If set to ``True``, the video will be displayed in
                Telegram as a video. If set to ``False``, Telegram will attempt
                to display the video as an animated gif. (It may still display
                as a video due to other factors.) The value is ignored if set
                on non-video files. This is set to ``True`` for albums, as gifs
                cannot be sent in albums.

            send_as (`entity`):
                Unique identifier (int) or username (str) of the chat or channel to send the message as.
                You can use this to send the message on behalf of a chat or channel where you have appropriate permissions.
                Use the GetSendAs to return the list of message sender identifiers, which can be used to send messages in the chat,
                This setting applies to the current message and will remain effective for future messages unless explicitly changed.
                To set this behavior permanently for all messages, use SaveDefaultSendAs.

            message_effect_id (`int`, optional):
                Unique identifier of the message effect to be added to the message; for private chats only

        Returns
            The `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>` (or messages)
            containing the sent file, or messages if a list of them was passed.

        Uploads a file to Telegram's servers, without sending it.

        .. note::

            Generally, you want to use `send_file` instead.

        This method returns a handle (an instance of :tl:`InputFile` or
        :tl:`InputFileBig`, as required) which can be later used before
        it expires (they are usable during less than a day).

        Uploading a file will simply return a "handle" to the file stored
        remotely in the Telegram servers, which can be later used on. This
        will **not** upload the file to your own chat or any chat at all.

        Arguments
            file (`str` | `bytes` | `file`):
                The path of the file, byte array, or stream that will be sent.
                Note that if a byte array or a stream is given, a filename
                or its type won't be inferred, and it will be sent as an
                "unnamed application/octet-stream".

            part_size_kb (`int`, optional):
                Chunk size when uploading files. The larger, the less
                requests will be made (up to 512KB maximum).

            file_size (`int`, optional):
                The size of the file to be uploaded, which will be determined
                automatically if not specified.

                If the file size can't be determined beforehand, the entire
                file will be read in-memory to find out how large it is.

            file_name (`str`, optional):
                The file name which will be used on the resulting InputFile.
                If not specified, the name will be taken from the ``file``
                and if this is not a `str`, it will be ``"unnamed"``.

            use_cache (`type`, optional):
                This parameter currently does nothing, but is kept for
                backward-compatibility (and it may get its use back in
                the future).

            key ('bytes', optional):
                In case of an encrypted upload (secret chats) a key is supplied

            iv ('bytes', optional):
                In case of an encrypted upload (secret chats) an iv is supplied

            progress_callback (`callable`, optional):
                A callback function accepting two parameters:
                ``(sent bytes, total)``.

                When sending an album, the callback will receive a number
                between 0 and the amount of files as the "sent" parameter,
                and the amount of files as the "total". Note that the first
                parameter will be a floating point number to indicate progress
                within a file (e.g. ``2.5`` means it has sent 50% of the third
                file, because it's between 2 and 3).

        Returns
            :tl:`InputFileBig` if the file size is larger than 10MB,
            `InputSizedFile <telethon.tl.custom.inputsizedfile.InputSizedFile>`
            (subclass of :tl:`InputFile`) otherwise.
