Hi Everybody,
Thanks for your patience while we looked into this. Our engineering team has implemented a change that they believe may solve this issue.
Go ahead and re-attempt any failed uploads and let us know if it works or if you are still receiving the same error message. I will pass this information along to the investigating team.

Hey dantol86, sorry to hear you're still having issues with this.
Could you please clear your browser's cache or try an incognito window with no plugins or extensions running and let us know if you notice any difference?
Have you also tried rebooting your internet router and computer(s) since you first noticed this?

Yes, did all that. Uploading files via the website use massive amounts of memory usage within the browser causing it to crash. It's almost like you've implemented something to prevent us from doing this. Please look at your code and fix it.

Is this fixed? I have been trying to do this for over 10 days and have been unable to upload a file with the same issue every single time. This is very frustrating and what poor customer service to see so many of us are having the same issue and nothing is being done.
The message continues to pop up, no matter the browser or how many times I check and reboot "You seem to be having internet issues. Hang tight and we’ll resume your upload once you reconnect." that is not the case. I would like this issue fixed or an update asap.

Yes, I did try all that but why should any of that matter, this crap should just work! Time to move on from this buggy product!
