Can't Upload my samples in a proposal

[7405e2f4]

Hello, I am new to for about two to three months. During my early days on Upwork things were going smoothly. Until now I can't upload my samples in a proposal to my potential clients. It's always telling me "Upload Failed". Both in the app and in the web version of this platform. Please can anyone help me with this. It's a pain in the ass.

I have been facing the same issue for the past week. Every time I tried to upload a file, I get an "upload failed" response. Can you please help with this? Thank you.

Hi Emmanuel,

There's an easy fix for this: upload your samples to your own personal Google Drive folder, then include Share links to each sample piece in your job proposal.

Clients actually prefer this anyway, because it means they don't have to download any files. They can just view your sample and decide whether they like it or not.

To create your share link, click on File > Share > Share with others — then make sure you change the permissions to "Anyone with the link can view".

Hope this helps!

Jim

P.S: I got this tip from The Gig, a free daily newsletter for digital freelancers.
