We will use lightning-file-upload for file upload. We can upload multiple files with this. With Lightning Web Components, you can empower users to upload files directly within your app, enhancing user engagement and productivity.
🌟 Why It’s Awesome:
- Effortless User Experience: Simplify file uploads for users with an intuitive interface that aligns with their expectations.
- Streamlined Data: Attach files directly to records, keeping your data organized and accessible in one place.
- Boosted Productivity: Enable users to focus on tasks instead of file management logistics.
🔧 Process & Coding :
lightning-file-upload base component with the below attributes :
- label: Label for the Upload Files button.
- name: Name of the component.
- accept: To restrict the File Types. Only Files Types provided in the list are supported for uploading.
- record-id: To associate uploaded files to a particular record.
- onuploadfinished: This method will be called once the file is uploaded successfully.
- multiple : To upload multiple files

That is when you have the recordId, What about when is a form ? When Creating a support case you need attachments. who do you add the files?
In your case, you can use a custom file upload LWC component.
Upload Custom File in Lightning Web Component(LWC)
How about when I want to send Uploaded file to my Component, how to I catch that?
