Hey guys! I hope you all are chill for 2025.
When I upload a file to my chatgp4 4o through my computer (using google chrome), it says that the file didnt come through. I then switch to my iphone, aand asks it to read again, and suddenly it can find the file and read it. I have tried multiple times and the result is the same (figure). The reason I do this post is to ask if you guys are experiencing anything simillar? First time this is happening for me. Weird!

Welcome to the forum, did you try to tell it a 2nd time to check file on PC. It knew it was a file so it was uploaded, you should just say”check uploaded documents again”
It may be a lag on ChatGPT where it forgets the upload on the pc like a hiccup. It should be able to read it on same machine with 2nd prompt.
5g may be faster than your internet
Hi @JustAChillGuy 
Welcome
to the community!
Till today, I witnessed many kind of problems on web app on browsers because of browser extentions, plugins, scripts, cache, cookies, VPN, and so on. When you clean your browser, or turn off VPN, switch to another browser, they generally solve the problem. But it may vary. Or hallucination.
I saw problems on mobile apps very rare.

It’s extremely weird. We’re going to try to recreate it on our end. I tagged a friend who uses PC but he is in a different time zone. Other developers will help as well. We are all users, for the most part. It is a great community and a wonderful rabbit hole

Certainly you could, you can contact them here: https://help.openai.com.
I am using ChatGPT Plus also so it’s not a generic issue with this.
