I have a standard web form which has a file selector form field. This has worked for well over 10 years as it's the standard UI presented by Safari. Just noticed today after Safari upgraded to 14.0.1 (on the latest Mojave) that the button is dead: clicking does nothing. This same form continues to work in Chrome. Anyone else see this and have a workaround?
Mac mini 2018 or later
Safari 14.0.3 which fixes this issue, is now available via the Software Update System Preferences pane.

I have filled a report : on https://www.apple.com/feedback
-------------------------------------
Safari Version 14.0.2 (14610.3.7.1.10)
with
macOS 10.14.6 (18G7016)
BUG : an upload button will not open a file requester, instead, I can drag and drop a file on the button and it works. This is very annoying.
the affected page html code is that : <input type="file" name="whatever">
Please fix this bug.
Sincerely Yours : Alex.
In reply to mauhey67 - the problem we're all discussing is exactly that - the upload button doesn't do anything when you click it in Safari 14.0.1 or 14.0.2. One solution is to find the file you want in the Finder and drag it to the upload button (the thing you normally click to find a file, which doesn't work), not the upload window where you want it to appear.
However, it seems from ravenby's recent post that Safari 14.0.3 will be appearing in Software Update Preferences soon, and that should bring the upload button function back.
Update to Safari v14.0.3 and it is fixed.
It's not the Security Updates - they are safe to install. It's that in any version of Safari newer than 14.0, clicking the upload button fails to open the Finder for you to select the file you want to upload.
Note that if you find the file you want to upload in the Finder first, you can then drag it to the upload button on the Safari screen and that should still work.
Update to Safari 14.0.3 fixed this
14.0.3 beta only partially fixes WeTransfer. Drag and drop from the Finder seems to work with small files, but ignores larger ones. The "plus" button now works again, but having to dumpster-dive thru an open dialog box is not what I had in mind. A beer to the dev who fixes this.
Same problem is still present in Safari 14.0.2 as well. I now can't use Campaign Monitor to build HTML emails as the standard browsing window doesn't appear so I can't upload graphics etc. Had to move across to Google Chrome for this task, I'd prefer not to have to but Apple doesn't seem interested in fixing this annoying bug.
See this other thread on the subject:
Thanks, yes, I confirm that file upload works normally in Safari 14.0.3. Phew!
From this and the Mojave Security Update fiasco last year we learn that Apple do fix these bugs eventually, but Software Updates have a long lead time, so it takes two or three updates before they achieve it. Users have to cope with the errors somehow in the meantime
I have this problem too; as others have reported, Drag & Drop works IF available.
