Hey! I’m having trouble with a zip file upload in the project.
I get the message: "File contents may not be accessible."
The zip isn’t password-protected and just has some text and config files. Any idea why this happens or how to fix it?
#File contents may not be accessible.

Hi @wintry fog. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. However, you might want to check if any browser extensions are interfering with the file upload process. According to the knowledge source on connected apps on ChatGPT, browser extensions that perform content filtering and blocking can prevent access to file pickers. Try disabling your browser extensions or accessing the service in an Incognito window to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem persists, you may want to consult additional documentation or support resources.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Thanks, @nimble vigil !
I’ve tried using Incognito mode and disabling extensions, but the problem still persists. I’m using the app from the Windows Store, and this issue happens when uploading a zip file in the project. Could it be related to the file structure or any project-specific settings? Any ideas on what I could try next?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
It seems like the issue might be related to the specific settings or limitations within the ChatGPT Projects feature. Based on the information available, here are a few things you could consider:
-
File Type and Structure: Ensure that the contents of the zip file are supported by the Projects feature. While the knowledge sources do not specify restrictions on file types within zip files, it's possible that certain file types or structures might not be supported.
-
File Size Limitations: There might be a limit to the amount of data or the number of files you can upload into a project. Check if the zip file exceeds any size limitations.
-
Project-Specific Settings: Since Projects are a new feature, there might be specific settings or limitations that affect file uploads. Unfortunately, the knowledge sources do not provide detailed information on this.
-
Platform-Specific Issues: Since you are using the Windows app, ensure that the app is up to date. Sometimes, issues can arise from using an outdated version of the software.
If none of these suggestions resolve the issue, you might want to reach out to OpenAI support for more detailed assistance. You can contact them at support@openai.com as mentioned in the DALL-E 2 sign-in help article.

Thanks again, @nimble vigil !
I’ve checked the suggestions:
The zip file size is under 10 MB, and the contents are mostly text and config files.
I’m using the latest version of the Windows app, so it’s not outdated.
What’s strange is that everything worked fine before, and now even previously uploaded files show the message: "File contents may not be accessible"—even though I’ve successfully worked with them before (1-2 weeks ago).
Could this be related to a recent update or project-specific settings? Is there any documentation on supported file formats or internal structures for uploads, or should I reach out to OpenAI support directly?

It sounds like you've already done a thorough check on your end. Given that the issue persists even with previously uploaded files that worked before, it's possible that a recent update or change in project-specific settings might be affecting file accessibility.
Unfortunately, the knowledge sources provided do not include specific documentation on supported file formats or internal structures for uploads in the ChatGPT Projects feature. Therefore, reaching out to OpenAI support would be a prudent next step. They can provide more detailed insights or confirm if there have been any recent changes affecting file uploads.
