Errors

Paste a public download link from this site

Copy-from-public rejected the pasted URL — it is not a valid public download link for this site.

Paste a public download link from this site

Copy from public could not resolve the pasted text to a public file on this site. Product text fills in the site name: “Paste a public download link from {site}.”

Why this happens

Wrong origin, bad path, invalid file id, or a link from another host. Allowed origins are typically the request origin plus PUBLIC_APP_URL. Empty paste is a different client message (Paste one or more download links).

Diagnose and fix

1. Member: paste a full public download URL from this site (one per line), not a third-party URL.

2. Admin: ensure PUBLIC_APP_URL matches the hostname users copy from.

3. Confirm Copy is allowed (mod + tier not blocked).

4. If the file id is valid but private/deleted, other copy errors may appear instead.
