I cannot upload files with Safari after macOS 12.0.1 update

Does Apple give a **** about us ??

I cannot even add a photo to a google review when I click ADD PHOTOS it does not open any box to be able to select them. I cannot upload to my food blog on Weebly either.

This is insanely frustrating APPLE

In Chrome browser I fixed it by disabling all extensions (may be you need to check if some extensions was added without your permission and delete them) and Quit the browser. Then open it again and enable extensions what you need.

I can guess that problem can be in ad blockers extensions.

I have the same problem apple! this is so annoying that i can't work on my laptop!, the problem is not only in broswers it is in any program that has an upload photos or documents button!, When i press the button it doesn't open the pop up that i could choose the doucment from!!, the problem is in the upload command itself in any application running on macbook air m1, please fix this issue

Hello, Have you been able to solve this problem yet? I upgraded to Monterey 12.2.1 and I can no longer upload photos to email, Facebook, blog, etc. I'm following this conversation and I see others have the same issues but I don't see a solution from apple. Can you please post the solution or workaround?

Thanks!

Does anyone have a solution for this issue? I've been experiencing it on Macbook M1 models since the beginning of January. Chrome is up to date, extensions are disabled etc. None of it seems to help, please advise. Thanks.

I moved to the MacAir a month back and been facing the similar issue. I have been restarting and using every time this happens and its really frustrating.

Temporary Solution:

For the time being for those who are still facing this issue, don't waste your time restarting the Mac. You can just quit the window and reopen, it solves the issue temporarily. (Command + Q)

Hope we can find a system solution for this ASAP.

@Applesupportcommunity please look into this matter. It is thoroughly disappointing that it's been almost 5 months since this issue has been raised and no measures have been taken to solve this.

Same issue here! Totally annoying!

I have to restart it every time it happens.

It doesn't help just closing the windows.

I'm totally dissatisfied and it's been only a week I bought this Mac.

@Apple, what's your solution???

Ditto, same issue. Started a couple of days ago for me and it's disrupting some of my work because I can't always drag-and-drop. So it seems the consensus is that this is a Mac issue that support needs to fix?

That support article is not helpful, as Safari does not appear in the list of apps you can select to allow access to files and folders. Looks like this new "functionality" could be some security measure that's gone awry. This change is super-annoying. It negatively impacts my productivity.

Macbook Air M1 here with newly updated Monterrey. Same nightmare issue. If someone has a solution for this, please be our Hero. @Apple isn't doing much to help us. This issue is extremely frustrating and interferes with productivity on a daily basis.

I’m having the same issue and happening randomly. Sometimes I can upload but most of the time I cannot totally upload any files to Youtube or Google Drive.

It happens that I have 2 routers (1 from my ISP and other one I persnally bought)

I’m able to make it work if I connected to my personal router.

I’m not sure why if I’m connected to the router from my ISP, sometimes I cannot upload. Possible there’s some security measure being checked by MacOS for this to happen

Hmmm,... Over eight months have not been enough time for Apple to fix this issue a statement, or at the very least throw out a few tidbits of info on what's being done. I guess this is the only real solution:

My costly, upgraded, new MacBook with the fancy M1 Max chip with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine sits idle while a 2018 Toshiba laptop running Windows uploads images to all the places it cannot.

Sure, I'll miss restarting my MacBook 4-5 times a day to upload images, but the lure of the awkward and tedious Windows environment has charmed me for one highly critical reason; IT WORKS.

Every

single

time.

Jobs has been gone a long time now. The slip is real.

(Apple support, please admonish me. Tell me how I've missed the simplest thing and am the cause of my own issue. React in some way. No? Oh, ... uh ... well ...)

I have the exact same issue when im using google chrome and da vinci resolve.. if i want to browse any file by pressing any buttons from the apps, it didnt show up. What's wrong with apple support team, why cant they fix this issue?

I think it's a Mac Wi-Fi communication compatibility issue. I have an old Intel Mac without any issues. The new M1 Pro probably uses a new Wi-Fi chip, so I have compatibility issues with my Broadcom Wifi router. I've tried a complete system reinstall but it doesn't solve it. After connecting the M1 Pro to the old Airport Extreme, this upload interruption problem never occurred. So I believe it's a compatibility issue and maybe Apple should recall Macs with Wifi compatibility issues.

I am having a similar issue with Twitter on Safari with Monterey 12.6. When I click the photo icon on a Tweet form nothing happens, but I can drag a photo from the desktop to the form in order to attach it. Haven't found a Safari (site) pref or a system privacy/security pref to address this.
