File Upload issue with Google Colab
Red Circle of wait….
1 min readNov 6, 2023
While performing some data science experiments using the Google Colab service. I wanted to upload one of the .csv files for the data analysis experiment and BAM was not able to upload files after multiple attempts.
The file size was not massive and it was just under 500kb.
The issue with file upload was just a round red circle, no error, no message and is shown by the red arrow in the screenshot below.
Following was my experience with configuration
- Source of data — open source public information in CSV format.
- Service — Google Colab and running Python 3.0 runtime.
- Browser — Mozilla Firefox
Resolution
After Repeated attempts and googling the internet. I switched back to Google Chrome and the issue is resolved like a charm.
Discussion
It’s available here on the StackOverflow.
Learning
Sometimes changing browsers is a better solution than trying multiple times with hope.
