You can use Binary Field to feed uploads.

logo = fields.Binary('Website Logo', default=_default_logo, help="Display this logo on the website.")

above field defined to upload logos. Same can be used to feed any files.

How can I process the file that I uploaded? in my case its an excel file

Whenever you upload a file, it will automatically processed by odoo in default and save in ir_attachment field. If you need to do more operations then you can access the file from current object or from ir_attachment table
