"Upload failed. Please try again" error when uploading files on the website

Upload failed. Please try again

Has been happening for the last 2 weeks. I'm using Safari.

I'm on the basic plan, used just over 463MB. The files I'm trying to upload are pdf and csv files, 20-60MB in size from my MacBook, definitely local files, not on GWS etc.

 

  • As I wrote the help piece above, I tried something else - Chrome. Works fine. Looks like Apple has fiddled with Safari and broken functionality.

    Safari Version 18.2 (19620.1.16.111.6, 19620)

    Hey DBuser3000, thanks for posting today.

    I'm glad to see you don't have this issue on your Chrome browser.

    Make sure to clear the cache on Safari to see if it helps.

    Thanks!
