Troubleshoot and resolve error messages encountered during file uploads to Suite.

Updated yesterday

When uploading files to Suite, it's important to rely on the Suite Storage app as the source of truth for upload status.

If an error occurs during the upload process, the button in the bottom left-hand corner of the application will turn red, indicating an issue. Clicking this button gives you access to the "View Errors" section, where you can find information on the error(s).

To address different types of error notifications, follow the instructions provided below:


Filename Restriction

  1. Create failed, name not supported

To resolve this: Either remove the restricted character from the filename or, if you are a Mac-only team (and never collaborate with Windows users) disable the restriction.


Loss of Internet Connection

If the error falls under one of the below categories, the most probable cause is a loss of internet connection.

  1. Failed to create

  2. Failed to upload

  3. Failed to rename

  4. Failed to delete

To resolve this: please check your internet connection and attempt the action again. If the error persists, contact our support team, and we will provide further troubleshooting assistance.


An issue with Computer Memory (RAM)

If the error falls under the below category, the most probable cause is an issue with your Random-access memory (RAM).

  1. Failed to write

To resolve this: close out any applications that could be using a significant amount of memory and attempt the action again in Suite. Should the issue persist, please reach out to our support team, and we will provide further troubleshooting assistance.
