You may the following for your browser uploads:
- Clear your browser's cache.

Restore your browser to its default settings and disable any browser plugins. The issue you're experiencing may be the result of a security setting or a plugin that you have installed on your browser.

Hope this helps with the website and I will be waiting for your response to see what we could do for your desktop app uploads.
Thank you!
