SueRob Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Morning! My first question on here. Is anyone else having trouble uploading images? I usually upload about five images at a time. I haven't uploaded for a few weeks, then, when I tried a few days ago, the most it would accept was two images, since then just one at a time. I just get the timer (circle) on the next image in the queue and it doesn't move on from there. I usually upload directly onto the website, but wonder, if this is a permanent glitch, whether I'd be better off using Filezilla. Thanks for any input on this.

Allan Bell Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 A lot can depend on time of day, day of week, IT working, Alamy accepting new catalogue of images, etc. Try uploading when it is quieter. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Tried several times today to upload 4 files. The first three smaller files uploaded, but a larger file (33MB) refused to get beyond the spinning circle. Deleted them all and tried just the smaller files... they uploaded quickly, but when I submitted, they disappeared. The larger one refuses to upload.

I've found that anything over about 21-22mb won't upload - just get the spinning circle. I reduce the file size to about 20mb or less by saving at a slightly higher compression level, (11 instead of 12 in Photoshop), then everything goes through.

Alex Ramsay Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Haven't been able to upload with Firefox for a year or so, but Safari works perfectly well instead (and was working yesterday) Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't just, plug in the credentials. For some reason FZ stopped working for me. I now use Core FTP. Works fine- as Jeff says, images upload in a few seconds if you have fibre BB.

J Ansell Frazier Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Reducing file size as Vincent said also worked for me. About 22 mb or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
