Unable to upload a file using Safari
Suddenly, dropbox.com isn't allowing me to upload a file if I'm using Safari as my browser. It works fine using Chrome. Any ideas what's going on?

Fantastic! I fetched and installed the new version of Safari. My uploads to websites are now working as they have in the past.
Thank you!

As of the latest update, Apple has not fixed that Safari bug.
But, in case you didn't see this in my previous posts, although I have not found an actual fix, I found a solution in the form of a workaround in Safari, without having to go to another browser. This is what I posted:
I have found a helpful and SIMPLE workaround, so you may not have to resort to switching to Chrome as the browser!:
In every case I've found -- my Gmail account, my AOL.com account, and on Dropbox.com -- you can simply drag-and-drop your file onto the upload or attach button!

Yes, I’ve been using Chrome instead of Safari but it’s hugely inconvenient. I hope they fix it soon! Thanks for the reply.

Drag and drop. No Chrome required.

Well, that stinks, sorry. It's been working for me on all sites except Bandcamp, where I have to switch to Chrome. I hope Apple will address this issue soon, it's kind of a big deal.
