When I upload my Blender file Blend-Exchange I get a message saying my file is not a blend file. Why?

This is a known issue: https://github.com/GiantCowFilms/Blend-Exchange/issues/56, which has now been resolved. I apologize for the slow response in getting this addressed.

Where did you upload? That looks like blend-exchange. If it is, you have probably tried to upload a compressed 3.x file. For some reason, blend-exchange sometimes doesn't recognize the new compression algorithm. Try uploading without compression.

    $\begingroup$ Probably compression is not the only one reason ... I tried several 3.1 without compression now, with this error ... imgur.com/2CfdBdh $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I have been experiencing the same internal error every time I try to upload recently. For now, we can use PasteAll, but it's only temporary hosting (about 5 months). Hopefully @GiantCowFilms will be able to resolve it soon. Our community really benefits from Blend Exchange. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @GiantCowFilms You are doing this community an incredible service. You never need to apologize for how long it takes you to cope with changes in Blender's implementation. $\endgroup$
