Failed to get upload status for /mnt/data/*filename*

Well i have found a solution to the problem,

Steps:

  1. You need to have python installed and working on the computer (it is very easy)
  2. install pip (watch some yt vid for help)
  3. Ask ChatGPT to generate a python script of the document, usually along with the code ChatGPT will also provide instruction on how to execute the code, and if it doesn’t then just simply ask for instructions aswell.
  4. Save the code as .py file , you can do it online just search ‘online python’
  5. follow the instructions and you are done.

(BTW use your brain while trying to follow the instructions because ChatGPT doesn’t give much detailed explanation but it is very helpful as every type of file has some different steps)

do you think the python workaround might be a viable solution on an android device as well?

Got it finally working! I was getting the same issues. Tried multiple OS (Windows 11 and MacOS)

I was attempting to use CustomGPTs AND a brand new chat with GPT 4

For customGPTs, I had to enable Code Interpreter. That resolved the issue. (Specifically for CSV)

The new chat ran into an unexpected error but what tipped me off was that it used import pandas as pd to attempt to create the file. Which made me think code interpreter was unchecked in GPTs.

Hope this helps someone!

Was this done through python by you?

No, and I did not try any other browsers except for Google Chrome.

do you have a paid subscription?

yeah, I do have a paid sub

Since when is using third-party software the solution to a problem? Sorry, but this will be the solution to the problem when the developers fix the error on the site, and until then, these are workarounds. Someone may not be too lazy to use it, because something urgent is needed, but I’m not in a hurry, so I can show off.

If you want a picture, i got the workaround with asking ChatGPT to give me a Preview in the Chat, and screenshotted it then

This is not really a solution when you need an Excel file)

Workaround:
I ran the following prompt, pasted it into Colab, and it worked successfully.

“I would like to use a Google Colab Notebook to run Python in order to generate the document. Could you please provide me with the necessary code?”

I have reached my limit. Could you paste the code here?

Please write in detail how you can download files using the code.

but there is nothing you or I can do abt it so it is better to just get our work done instead of complaining

Bro, this is not “our work”, this is just the work of OpenAI technical specialists. And yes, the more people complain, the more likely it is that the problem will be solved. And if you think, “come on, why complain, that’s we have to solve the problems created by companies,” then, of course, this will become “our work”.

I asked chatgpt 3.5 to creat excel sheet for me. He offered to upload the file to me or share a link to let me download from it. After many many tries he can not do it.every time he provide a link that is not working.
How can I get the excel sheet from him

Hey, I had the same issue and I just asked chatgpt to write a .txt file that I can copy and just change Namexy.txt to Namexy.csv in the end. Worked out fine! That way you dont have to download anything just copy paste Hope this helps

The easiest solution was to open the code link at the right and paste it in google colab

Please describe in more detail how to do this

How the heck is people paying for this and there is a critical function like downloading files not working???
