hey @markoknoebl, we poked around with this and are noticing some inconsistencies as well. We are going to continue to investigate why drop isn’t acting as it should.
Do you have any more details to share? that would still be helpful for us. thanks!
Something I’ve discovered: If I’m not logged in and I upload a copy of something that already exists, it will work!
For example, I can go to Netlify App, download the demo site that’s linked there and reupload it - that will work, because an exact copy of that was already deployed before by someone else who was logged in (I guess maybe contents are associated to deployments by a hash??). However, if I just change a single character from something that is already deployed it won’t upload successfully.
Also, this has been occuring for me since a couple of months I think.
on Firefox the error message is:
Looks like something went wrong!
We track these errors automatically, but if the problem persists feel free to contact us. In the meantime, try refreshing
on Chrome or Edge (even in incognito mode):

This error may be caused by an ad blocker or browser extension. You can try disabling blocking on this page or running in incognito.
If you are having trouble with drag and drop deploys, please read this article:
That explains how to upload smarter and more reliably. You cannot use Netlify Drop like that, but if you care about your content uploading reliably, you’ll sign up for a (free!) account and adapt your workflow
