When uploading a file in the COS console, the message "Upload failed due to a network glitch" appears. What should I do?

When encountering the message "Upload failed due to a network glitch" while uploading a file in the COS (Cloud Object Storage) console, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

  1. Check Your Network Connection: Ensure that your internet connection is stable. A weak or intermittent connection can cause upload failures. Try accessing other websites or services to confirm that your network is working properly.

  2. Retry the Upload: Sometimes, network glitches are temporary. Wait for a few moments and try uploading the file again. The issue might resolve itself after a short period.

  3. Use a Different Browser or Clear Cache: Browser issues can sometimes interfere with file uploads. Try using a different browser or clear the cache and cookies of your current browser to see if that resolves the issue.

  4. Check for Firewall or Antivirus Interference: Firewalls or antivirus software might block the upload process. Temporarily disable them to see if it allows the upload to proceed. If it does, you may need to adjust your firewall or antivirus settings to allow COS access.

  5. Use the COS Mobile App or SDK: If the issue persists on your computer, consider using the COS mobile app or SDK to upload the file. This can sometimes bypass network issues associated with your computer or browser.

  6. Contact Support: If none of the above steps work, contact Tencent Cloud support for further assistance. They can help diagnose and resolve any underlying issues causing the upload failure.

For example, if you are trying to upload a large file and encounter this error, retrying the upload after a short wait or using a different browser might resolve the issue. If you frequently experience network glitches, using the COS SDK within your application might provide a more reliable upload method.

If you need additional reliability and performance for your file uploads, consider using Tencent Cloud's COS service, which offers robust features like high availability, data durability, and scalable storage options to meet your needs.
