Upload Failed - Click Here to retry the upload (Will not let me upload)

Answered
The Meme Lord
  • Edited

So I am using the browser version of Discord and I like sending memes. However some images will just not upload, and I just get "Upload Failed". Clicking retry doesn't do anything, even if you do it like 15 times. So instead of copying/pasting I saved the image and sent it and it still does the same thing. (The image in question is 1,082 KB) So I came to the point where I took a screenshot of the image and then it sent.

This doesn't only happen with this one image, it happens randomly. It can be any picture and it just WONT SEND. I've tried restarting discord, signing out and signing in, it's just ridiculous. Everyone else i know who has discord is having the same problem. I notice sometimes it works on other servers but for some servers it doesn't. I have no restrictions against sending images, attaching files, or embed links on my server.

I wanted to point out that I can see the image progress bar fill up and then it says Upload Failed. I don't understand why this also happens when I simply try to copy/paste an image.

There is nothing specific, inappropriate, or wrong about these images, they are just normal memes. Why would I even get this message anyways? Why did the upload fail? How? The only legit reason is if the file is too big BUT ITS NOT.

The Problem is NOT because of the file size. I do not have any pictures over 8 MB, they are all 1.2 MB and below. Its pretty annoying about the fact that it just wont simply let you upload some pictures.

    Use the gyazo app, it sends images and videos as links and viewers can see the image without opening the link, it's much more quicker and easier to use, lemme know if it helps

    I noticed that I can't send any non-image files (like text files etc) in Direct Messages to friends, but this only happens with the official app (Stable 93554 (3a8fa51) Host 0.0.15 Linux 64-Bit (5.11.0-25-Generic))...
    When I log onto the web browser version, the files will send fine... Huh...

    When i reinstalled Discord direct from the main website, as opposed to my app store, the app suddenly works for downloads, but now custom fonts on channels are not showing correctly. *SIGH*

    Using NoScript? Just allow "storage.googleapis.com" and you'll be able to upload files again.

    I could not upload files for ONE YEAR... I.e.: When they started using "storage.googleapis.com" for that. I never thought about NoScript. Facepalm.
