Safari update 14.0.1 issue uploading files

I was able to get back to uploading files from Safari by regressing to Safari 13.1.3 when I updated to OS Catalina. I refuse to update Safari until this bug is fixed. You may get some relief from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 . I stress..."MAY". For Apple to suggest installing a different browser, "Chrome", seems more than a bit silly...recommending that you use someone else's browser! Apple, you are dropping the ball big time by either a) refusing, or b) unable to fix the bug. For users who have not yet updated Safari (or updated their iOS which seems to include the latest Safari), I recommend turning "OFF" your "auto-update" and checking before making any OS or Safari updates.

I also had issues with uploading files on Safari 14.01, so when the next release of 14.02 came out quickly upgraded, but the problem still occurs, I can still not upload files from Safari 14.01 which is very, very annoying!! Google Chrome is fine, no problem.

I would have upgraded to Catalina, but can find nowhere to upload it from? Big Sur is tempting, but has had its own problems in its infancy, let alone the 35GB space required to run it! Apple, please fix this problem with Safari the next security update!!!

I have the same problem although it only started in mid January, before that I had no issue.

Problem - Using gmail in Safari, clicking the attach button does not produce the finder window. As far as I can tell, nothing happens when clicking the button. It is occurring on my iMac, I am also running Mojave (macOS10.14.6)

Dragging & dropping the files into the email works but it's really clunky.

Surely the problem could be resolved?

I've temporarily switched to Chrome until a Safari update fixes this. I've seen the same thing on 3 different machines. Really surprised they haven't issue an update yet to address.

Just go here for the link to download Mojave and re-install it

Is this issue still not solved? I recently updated Safari and cannot add attachements with gmail or hotmail. Chrome works fine

As a workaround, you can drag the attachment from Finder and drop onto the email you are composing in Gmail on Safari. Copy and paste does not work.

There is now Safari 14.0.3 Beta available, anybody dared to try it?

Just went through the process to trouble shoot and discovered I have the same problem as all of you. Hoping that Apple does read all this and fix this bug by Christmas. In the meantime I'll be using Chrome to email attachments.

I'm unable to use the paper clip button to attach files. I've been looking on google and a lot of people is having the same issue after the recent update.

I tried every advice and nothing worked.

Apple has to fix this!

Apple's updates today did not fix it for me. I still can not upload or attach files unless in some cases I can drag and drop them. Wow, a major problem with Safari. I took ptjunior’s advice and wrote a polite and factual email to Tim Cook. You would think this is something they would be all over, otherwise folks like me will move to Chrome or Firefox permanently.

Same here! I have an iMac. I tried using Outlook email and attaching a file from my computer. When I click the paperclip to attach, and click "Browse this computer", nothing happens!! I tried my gmail, using safari....same thing!!! I then tried google chrome, to see if it is an issue with safari. My attachments work with Google Chrome!!! So my computer was set to auto update, which I just turned off. What is the fix? How annoying!!!! I have Safari version: 14.0.2. I also have the Mac OS Mojave version 10.14.6. PLEASE HELP!!!! This just started a few weeks ago, I'm thinking my computer did an auto update and since then I cannot attached any files to any emails or photo editing websites!!!

The Update for 14.0.1 has been removed from the update list at Mojave. So only 14.0.2 is available. Since Apple sometimes released an Update with the same release number but fixed bugs, did anybody here checked already?

Dragging and dropping did not work for me on a file of a few hundred kb that I have been routinely uploading to an email monthly prior to the start of this problem.

It does appear to work for some people uploading larger files.

I had to go to Firefox to send my email.

I noticed this issue the other day whilst trying to upload a document on bt webmail. Thought it was a bit odd, but didn’t realise there was an issue at the time. It was only today when my son was trying to upload his schoolwork online and nothing happened when he clicked add files from computer (strangely add file from one drive and google drive work). I managed to drag and drop, but thought it was my Mac being glitchy. Restarted my Mac to no avail, then found this forum (makes me feel better that it’s not just me).

I have sent feedback to Apple, but doubt they will do anything as they want people to upgrade to Big Sur. I’m nervous about reinstalling Mojave, as have had nothing but trouble since I got this Mac (never had this much trouble with my old Mac).

I like Safari as bookmarks and tabs work over all devices. Perhaps I’ll bite the bullet and reinstall, but does anyone know if I have to reinstall apps, files and mail settings?

Thanks
