It's kind of funny that you still can't upload plain text files with arbitrary extensions when even videos are allowed. Like, try to upload a .json:
> We don’t support that file type. Try again with a GIF, JPEG, JPG, MOV, MP4, PNG, CSV, DOCX, FODG, FODP, FODS, FODT, GZ, LOG, MD, ODF, ODG, ODP, ODS, ODT, PDF, PPTX, TXT, XLS, XLSX or ZIP.
How hard can it be to just allow plain text regardless of file name?

- ravenstine 5y agoEven just friggin' allowing JSON and XML extensions would solve 80% of this problem. At my work I frequently have to change the extension to .json.txt to get it to work.
