Brave will freeze in the current Window if I select Upload or Add Attachment, and usual browser behavior will Pop-up the Windows Explorer Window to select file but nothing will happen. I have this issue on at least two of my Windows Computers, all under the same Sync Account. Steps to Reproduce I…

Do you have ESET on both of the affected computers? Can you try disabling it temporarily and see if anything changes?

Yes I forgot to mention that I did try disabling ESET and the results were the same.

Hi, I can confirm that if I create a new profile I am able to open the add attachment in Gmail. So does this mean my main profile is corrupt somehow?

Unclear… it certainly means that something is ‘wrong’ in the profile, but I don’t know if it’s corrupt in some way that is irrecoverable. What about a Private window in your original profile? Same thing?

Does this still happen on 1.31.91? Also found a strange case where someone seemingly resolved a similar issue by uninstalling Dropbox, not sure if that applies here.

It does seem that the new update to 1.31.91 does fix the issue. In my case I dont have Dropbox installed at all. Thanks for the changes to Brave that fixed this issue, really appreciate it.

Issue came back on Version 1.32.106 :cry:

Sigh. :disappointed: Well, there is another 1.32.x release due out any day now, I would say within the next few days. Want to pick this back up there if the issue still happens then?

Does the issue occur if you create a new profile? It won’t trash your existing profile, just create a new one for you to test in.
