Upload file to document library does not work
Upload file to document library does not work
This is very strange: in one of my sites I cannot seem to upload files to document libraries. I can select "Upload" and browse for my file, but when I click "Submit" I get returned to the document library and the file does not show.
Creating a folder works fine, it's just uploading files that doesn't seem to work.
Andy ideas?

- I figured out what it was: instead of linking to http://mysite/documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx I only linked to http://mysite/documents/Forms/. This still got me to my document library, so I didn't notice the mistake, but it seems to have shown me a different view with a non-existent root folder. As a result any files I uploaded didn't show up. I cannot figure out why SharePoint would allow this in first place, but there you go. I was even able to create additional folders, but no files.
Fixing the link fixed the problem.- Proposed As Answer byKris Wagner - MCP, MCTS Monday, November 30, 2009 6:20 AM
