I AM UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD OR UPLOAD ANY FILES FROM Brave
I can recreate the issue.
-Open a web page and then try download it (via option on page) download never happens
-Tried to upload a copy of a receipt (jpg) , unable to upload (file select dialog opens) no file is uploaded
Brave v1.74.48** (Jan 15, 2025)
Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Expected result: Download or upload of the file/jpg
In order to determine which of those, to use, in a Brave Browser New Window, go to: “brave://version”
Scroll down to “Command line”
The beginnings of that command line character string, will indicate to you, which of those commands to use.
The switches are intended to:
Start up Brave Browser, showing a New Private Window
Disable all experiments at brave://flags
Disable extensions
Disable GPU ie disable Hardware Acceleration
Test your issue.
You might create an additional Brave Browser Profile, for testing.
The important BraveSoftware folder location, usually but not always:
/home/[username]/.config/BraveSoftware/
OR, in a Brave Browser New Window, go to:
brave://version
and scroll down to “Profile Path” - that path very likely ending with “Default” - and locate the “BraveSoftware” folder in that path.
That is a folder to be backed up routinely, IMHO.
Sometimes, after exiting / quitting Brave Browser, then moving that BraveSoftware folder to another location, and then exiting and quitting everything else . . . and a computer restart . . .
And then starting Brave Browser . . . a new BraveSofware folder will be created.
Hi, started from the command line ,Tried to download the test.txt , unsuccessful.
I also tried to open the test.txt files as a new tab, a new tab flashes up but closes, any way to see a log for an error why the tab closes ? I will try the new profile later.
