Upload session fails with "Upload completion failed" error message

💻 Environment/Context

  • Upload session
  • Media
  • "Upload completion failed"
  • Web upload

 

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • Upload completion failed. We encountered an issue while finalizing your upload. Please provide this Session ID to our support team for assistance: 5336856

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • The message could appear even when the upload has actually completed 
  • Before re-uploading, check whether the file is already on the platform
    • Open the collection the upload was targeting and look for the file
    • Open the media details page and confirm the media plays and its metadata looks correct
    • If the media is there and plays, the upload succeeded, and the message can be ignored. Re-uploading would only create a duplicate.
