Steam Cloud Unavailable. Unable to Upload Screenshots

[[M-S]:§Þ°ñGëƒòóÐ]

Whenever I try to upload screenshots in Steam I receive a message:

"There was an error uploading 1 screenshots. Steam Cloud may be temporarily unavailable."

I am unable to upload screenshots. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this?

Thanks

Server reboot? How long is it like that?

It has been like that for about 2 days.

It works over here. Maybe you are just unlucky enough to update your client when the Steam server is down. It has happened before to me, but I eventually get to upload when the server starts working again. GL to you!

2 days?

- Ensure your client up to date, ensure you didn't do anything to Steam files, or restrict it file, and permission access.

- Ensure you're not blcoking anything, such as VPN/Proxy, Firewall, or etc...

- Ensure you didn't get any community content ban, if you did get any, you would get an alert on Steam yellow banner, and email, showing what you're getting ban for, and how long the ban will before it lift. If don't have it, and closed the yellow banner alert, then only option to check is asking Steam support. Steam help > My account > Data related to my account, and scroll to the bottom, and click on contact support.

Experience, and testing.
If you did something to the client files, and broke something, then may need fix it by repairing, or reinstalling.

If using a VPN/Proxy, or firewall that blocking access point to send to, then that would stop it from uploading it to their server.

If got screenshots, display image, artwork, or community content ban, then this can results a temp ban which stops you from uploading content, doesn't stop you from posting on the forum, just can't upload things.

This is an example what you may get if you got community content banned.

I get this when I actually attempt to upload the screenshots. Two different ways. First if I go to my library. Highlight the game I've taken screenshots in. I will see the screenshots collected over the past few days. From there I can click on the image and select share. This will open the upload window where I can select to make it public or private and add a note. When ready I click upload. This will start the upload then the message I noted above pops up. The second way is to start from my profile. Go to my screenshots and manage my screenshots. From here a small window will appear displaying all of the screens I have not uploaded yet. I can select 1 and follow the same steps to make it private or public and upload. I get the same message from both independent ways.

I did not receive any content ban notifications. Don't believe this is the cause but nice thought.

Strange. Maybe wait one or two weeks longer, and try it again? I don´t know what causes this, aside from the server being unavailable, as you wrote, which can happen from time to time.
If the problem persists, there is always an option to make a support ticket, but I cannot guarantee they can help.

Thanks so much AustraALien2010. I'll wait and try a ticket.

I had this problem today simply because of the size of the screenshot, i was trying to upload a 20MB sc and was getting that error, then i made another with 8MB and got it to upload.

Are you confusing yourself with artwork upload? Because OP talking about upload a screenshot you take in-game, that normally 150KB ~ 1MB+ depending on the screen resolution.

Artwork uploads limit has always been 8MB, but that not the issue OP was having.

From two weeks same thing happening to me. i cant upload any screenshots. same error showing. and when i force to upload one screenshot uploaded suddnly then same as usual showing error . suddnly this error occured. help me guys

[амёба с усами]

I got the same error today. I took 4 screenshots and uploaded them like normal. But then I realized that I uploaded them in the wrong order, so I deleted all 4 sc. And now when I try to upload any of them I get the "There was an error uploading 1 screenshots. Steam Cloud may be temporarily unavailable."

P.S. I don't believe that in 10 minutes after deletion and before uploading the servers just went down.

Edit: I tried to upload screenshot from another game and it worked. So this is definitely because I removed my screenshots. I guess I just have to wait it out.
