upload fail

Broken file send

An upload fail is an unsuccessful attempt to transfer a file to a server or online platform.

The term blends technical language with internet slang, where fail functions as a noun meaning failure or blunder.

Used both for genuine technical problems and mockingly for user error: Got an upload fail three times before I realized the file was too large.
