Yeah, I see. So in either case the file would have to be uploaded to history so it would not make sense to keep uploading the same file multiple times.

I want to upload an experiment specific file from the workflow and bypass loading it into the history.
Galaxy doesn't really support this mode of operation. Data upload and tool/workflow execution are separated so that all data used by tools is captured within immutable datasets to ensure reproducibility. You could implement this, but unless you still create a dataset for the uploaded file, I think it would break other things (like re-running tools). -- James Taylor, Assistant Professor, Biology / Computer Science, Emory University
