Errors

Upload canceled

The browser aborted the upload (cancel button, closed tab, or navigation). Not a server rejection.

Upload canceled

The uploader shows Canceled when the transfer was aborted on purpose or the browser stopped the request.

Why this happens

The client maps abort / AbortError to this message. Typical causes:

  • The member clicked cancel on a file or the whole batch
  • They refreshed or left the page mid-upload
  • The browser killed a long request (sleep, network drop)

This is not the same as “Uploads are currently disabled” or a size/quota error.

Diagnose and fix

1. Ask whether they canceled or navigated away — if yes, start the upload again and leave the tab open.

2. If they did not cancel: check network stability, VPN, and browser extensions that abort XHR/fetch.

3. Confirm uploads are still allowed for their plan (Users & limits → Uploads enabled) and the site is not in upload maintenance.

4. For large files, try a smaller test file; if only big files abort, look at Nginx client_max_body_size, reverse-proxy timeouts, and disk space on the storage server.
