I have looked to try and link to the "Upload new Document" form for my Shared Documents from my home page but have had a lot of trouble. I am unsure of what other posts are saying when they mention SharePoint Server.

The link to the library whose "Upload new Document" form I want to access is here:

http://companysite.company.com/project/myProject/SharedDocuments/Forms/AllItems.aspx

I have tried to follow this post: Create link to "new item" form but my GUID has '%' signs instead of dashes and I am unsure of what the SharePOint "server" is.

The link you refer has your answer, with only a small tweak, if you are in SP2013. Your url should be as follows:

https://yoursite/_layouts/15/Upload.aspx?List={XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}

Note that 2013 uses /_layouts/15/Upload.aspx, whereas 2010 used /_layouts/Upload.aspx.

You can get your library guid by going to the list settings for the library, and looking for List=%7BXXXXXXXX%2DXXXX%2DXXXX%2DXXXX%2DXXXXXXXXXXXX%7D. Note that it contains %7B,%2D and %7D. These are merely the encoded forms of {, - and } respectively. You can unencode them using a site like this, or you can paste that in, so that the url looks like this:

https://yoursite/_layouts/15/Upload.aspx?List=%7BXXXXXXXX%2DXXXX%2DXXXX%2DXXXX%2DXXXXXXXXXXXX%7D

Either will work.
