Upload Labs doesn’t have traditional achievements, meaning they aren’t added to your Steam profile when you unlock them. However, there are 24 in-game achievements you can earn, each rewarding tokens.
Most achievements are unlocked simply by progressing through the game, but some require strategic or less efficient play, such as sacrificing resources, for the reward of tokens and completing tasks.
### File Achievements
These are earned by using Network and Processor Speed to modify and upload Files for cash.
