Unable to upload/attach files on Chrome- M2 chip I am unable to upload/attach files in Chrome. It's not a website issue as I am able to upload via Safari. I have a 2022 Macbook Air, model A2681 (M2 chip). I have seen that this was an issue with the M1 model, but that solution has not worked for me. I have ensured Chrome was up to date.

Unable to drag and drop files from Safari download list to other platforms For about a month ago, since then I am experiencing this issue. Once I have download a file using my safari browser, if I drag the file from the download list that appears on the right hand corner of the screen next to share, and try to drop it to any places that allow file drag and drop upload, or even to send that file via WhatsApp, the file appears to be either not accepted by the platform or some platform even says that the files is corrupted, and some even say that this format is not compatible. But the file downloads in the download folder and if tried to upload from the download folder, it works like magic. i have tried several things, like uninstalling all the extensions, resetting the browser and so on, still unable to solve the problem. I would deeply appreciate if the community helps me out with that. Thank you! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

it simply don’t allow to select any files or folders

I keep trying for 5-6 times and then it works..

but again after few time, it doesn’t work

I found an alternate option of closing some open files and then it works. But after some time it repeats…

it’s strange behaviour of Mac

What error messages, if any, do you get?

Try a restart and then retest.

If that don't work try Firefox or Brave browsers.
