There are two types of errors that can occur while bulk uploading boxes and/or files:

File Processing Errors

Caused by a problem with the .csv file. This type of error is indicated by an immediate message on the Bulk Upload Boxes or the Bulk Upload Files screen after you browse to select the .csv file and processing begins. Upload cannot start if there is a file processing error.

  1. Correct the ORIGINAL .csv file.
  2. Once corrected, repeat the upload process starting with step 5 in Bulk Uploading BoxesorBulk Uploading Files until you have a successful upload.

Use the following table of examples to help troubleshoot file processing errors:

Data Upload Errors

  2. Error messages are displayed in the Error Type column on the far left of the file. Use the error messages and suggested solutions below to correct the original bulk upload .csv file.
