TimeoutError in File_API.ipynb

[uezhenxiang2023]

Hi, I got a TimeoutError while executing the File_API.ipynb locally on my Macbook Pro. I can list the models with genai.list_model() request:

But the error poped after running the following line:

sample_file = genai.upload_file(path="image.jpg",
                                display_name="Sample drawing")

print(f"Uploaded file '{sample_file.display_name}' as: {sample_file.uri}")

Here is the Traceback

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

TimeoutError: [Errno 60] Operation timed out

And I double checked the image is downloaded successfully above the upload_file request cell:

This problem has been tormenting me for two days,I tried different ways to solve it but make no sense. Look forward to get some suggestion here. Sincere thanks！

Hi @uezhenxiang2023, apologies you're running into issues with the colab locally. Maybe you can try running the python script directly: https://github.com/google-gemini/cookbook/blob/main/quickstarts/file-api/sample.py

Let me know if that helps and it should help us understand why you're running into this

Hi @TYMichaelChen , Really appreciate for your quick reply.The same TimeoutError occured while running the sample.py locally.
