Cant attach Files in M1 macbook air

Oesses,

If you boot your Mac into safe mode using the steps from this resource, does that behavior still continue from there? How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

It can take a few extra minutes to boot into safe mode. Your screen may flash or flicker while in safe mode. Those behaviors are expected. Testing in safe mode runs a check on your disk, removes some cached files, and can help isolate conflicts with startup items. Once you've tested that, you can restart your Mac in order to leave safe mode.

Let us know your results, and we'll keep moving forward from there.

I have a similar issue. Sometimes when I right-click on a jpeg and select "save as" nothing happens just as you said. You expect the dropdown box asking you where you want to save the file to, but nothing happens. I use an up-to-date Chrome browser. I find that, when I quit Chrome, I get this dialog:

After choosing "Quit," I open Chrome back up and I am now able to successfully save files... for a while anyway. It seems to happen after I've done a lot of this sort of thing including downloading account statements from my credit card company.

I'm happy that I found a work-around, but it is still very frustrating to have to do this on a somewhat regular basis. It has only started happening once I bought my new MacBook Air M1 2020. It never happened on my MBAir 2015.

Your last link talks about email.

I just drag the file I want attached into the body of the email, send it and move on.

I get trying to make a system work as "promised" but sometimes you have to make the result the ultimate goal and not the process.

Not being able to upload has inevitably for me been a server or ISP issue.

Screen recordings are just files. Maybe they're too big and the process chokes. Again, drag the file into the email body and move on.

"sometimes when I try to attach a document".

Attach a document to what exactly? It's unclear what your ultimate goal is. Sending an email attachment?
