had uploaded to vs had been uploaded to

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Had been uploaded to' is used when referring to the action of uploading something in the past, while 'had uploaded to' is in the active voice and emphasizes the fact that something was uploaded by someone or something else. The choice between the two depends on whether you want to focus on the action of uploading or on the uploader.
