  4. Receive error “Could not upload xxxxx.file”

@Sparks - I know you posted this a while back, but I see no response from anyone. Did you ever get it resolve? I just ran into the same problem on v18.0.7. I did notice, however, that the issue isn’t present if you set the share link options to “Allow upload and editing”.
