When I drop an image on the Image Search Action the browser opens to a Google page containing an empty image icon and the message in the subject.

The latest Dropzone doesn't support Mojave. I can't upgrade my macOS so stuck with 4.2.8.

The uploads still fail without any failure errors: I just force-quit the process by clicking on x next to the progress bar.
I tested other cloud-based actions: YouTube Uploader required re-auth and I was able to upload immediately after.

I have a question: does the Gdrive action use Python? I installed Python3 a month ago as a requirement to compile a Unix binary. I notice several little apps broken since, including a Dashboard widget (I use Dashboard on Mojave) that used to do the job flawlessly. Every time I launch that widget the Python launcher app kicks into action even though I removed the Python3 framework location from the PATH env variable in .bash_profile and relogged into my user. Could "Upload to GDrive" fall victim to Python3? If it could I'll remove Python3 without remorse.

Dropzone 4.2.8 and can't upgrade beyond Mojave. All of sudden, it's stuck on uploading for ever after I drag the file. I re-added the action, re-authorized successfully: no dice.

The Actions Debug Console reports the following:

When I use v2.1 it fails to upload with the authorization error although I can authorize both versions seamlessly during set-up.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay

When I click on either of these icons the pages open normally.

... and also fails to upload to GoogleDrive and YouTube (despite being authorized). When I click on each icon the corresponding site opens in a browser. Forced to stick to v 3.0.8 which is what I'm using all the time.

I managed to launch it only by running the executable. Here's the Terminal output I got during the session:

I suddenly realised there's no more the "share a picture to Twitter" action. I miss it. Is it possible to restore it?

NB. For some reason, updates about replies don't arrive in my Inbox and Junk too.

Just checked Bitly in Dropzone 3 on High Sierra. Strangely, it works as expected. No in Mavericks, Yes in High Sierra.

Here's the connection log

... therefore it recommends falling back on using the OAUTH2 scheme. They changed it recently, was able to shorten links just a few days ago. I'm talking about Dropzone 3 on my older macOS on my older Mac.I'll update about High Sierra situation.

BTW, Google shortening fails too because Google complains about the obsolete OAUTH used by the appropriate action.

In my case clicking opened the GDrive's root page and caused the connection status bar to get stuck.

The console output as follows:

Strangely,  the google auth window shows Dropzone 3 asking for access, not 4. It fails to upload and I get the same alert pop-up. BTW, not after I quit Dropzone 3 I was able to authorize and add to the grid. Still, it won't upload.
Also in the log, there's a hint to a dialogue prompt to choose a folder on GDrive that works in Dropzone 3. I never see this prompt either.

No it even didn't prompt me to select a folder.

It fails with just with any file. Dropzone 3 is doing that seamlessly. Failed to upload 6MB jpeg.

Upload failed

Hi,

It appears that this action accepts only small files. I successfully uploaded 10-20 MB files but that's not enough.

From my own testing this is a bug in the YT uploader action that chokes on mp4 files (that is, the files consisting of filenames with .mp4 extension appended). I got around with it by converting it to a QuickTime movie with .mov extension. It's certainly needs to be fixed.

Dropzone uses macOS built-in ShareKit functionality (Mojave removed it, but its still exists in High Sierra and earlier versions down to Mountain Lion). It means that just like using system-wide sharing sheet you upload only pictures to Twitter by dragging them on its icon or - if you just click on it - you can post status update.
