i'm getting an error when i try to upload the image files into my workspace. It says I need to upload from my directory?

I'm using Chrome and I do have adblocker? i've saved the imaged to a folder on my desktop.

Hey,

You may need to unzip the file and then drag the "img" folder to your workspace. It may be worth trying just a random .jpg to see if you're able to add that?

Cheers =)

this still doesn't work - i'm in chome and I've unzipped and saved the files to my computer and they do not populate in workspaces when I drag them into the upload area. I've tired my own images as well and even the normalize.css file that the video calls for. Also, instead of dragging i've tried the file upload function but it then gives me an error that says " sorry, this upload was unsuccessful. Please try again by selecting all the files within the directory."

Is there something else i'm missing?? Nothing seems to upload but otherwise workspaces seems to be doing everything else great. Is there anywhere to upload screen shots?

thanks,

Laura

Laura,

I am having the same problem. I've tried a few different ways to upload into my workspace and it just doesn't do it.

I managed to get everything to upload to workspace on my mac at home. I have no idea why they wouldn't upload on my work PC.

I tried at work and was able to do it if I moved the files to my desktop first. They still didn't populate in workspace if I tried to move them directly from the open folder. At least they're there now.
