Windows 10: I have an issue uploading files to any email account, messaging including facebook...

UptopKing7802 · Dec 26, 2022

I have tried many different methods to resolve the issue including clearing the browser cache, I've done disk cleanup, updating drivers, trying a different browser, resetting my router, restarting my PC, doing a fresh install, etc. The computer is running on ethernet provided by Verizon. I then tried the exact same thing on my laptop and there were no issues. I have run multiple scans from windows and there are no corrupt files in the system. I use this PC for work and I need to be able to send email attachments I would also like to send and receive images or files through messaging as well.I

Facebook unintentionally uploaded 1.5 million users email contacts

Facebook harvested the email contacts of 1.5 million users without their knowledge or consent when they opened their accounts.

Since May 2016, the social-networking company has collected the contact lists of 1.5 million users new to the social network, Business Insider can reveal. The Silicon Valley company said the contact data was "unintentionally uploaded to Facebook," and it is now deleting them.

The revelation comes after pseudononymous security researcher e-sushi noticed that Facebook was asking some users to enter their email passwords when they signed up for new accounts to verify their identities, a move widely condemned by security experts. Business Insider then discovered that if you entered your email password, a message popped up saying it was "importing" your contacts without asking for permission first.

At the time, it wasn't clear what was happening — but on Wednesday, Facebook disclosed to Business Insider that 1.5 million people's contacts were collected this way and fed into Facebook's systems, where they were used to improve Facebook's ad targeting, build Facebook's web of social connections, and recommend friends to add.

A Facebook spokesperson said before May 2016, it offered an option to verify a user's account using their email password and voluntarily upload their contacts at the same time. However, they said, the company changed the feature, and the text informing users that their contacts would be uploaded was deleted — but the underlying functionality was not.

Facebook didn't access the content of users' emails, the spokesperson added. But users' contacts can still be highly sensitive data — revealing who people are communicating with and connect to.

While 1.5 million people's contact books were directly harvested by Facebook, the total number of people whose contact information was improperly obtained by Facebook may well be in the dozens or even hundreds of millions, as people sometimes have hundreds of contacts stored on their email accounts. The spokesperson could not provide a figure for the total number of contacts obtained this way...

No pictures (or videos) will upload to Facebook

I would suggest you remove Facebook not from the Facebook app itself, but going through the email accounts list on your WP7
settings > system > email & accounts. Once this is done re-add your Facebook account and try again.

If that does not work see if this helps:
