4 weeks ago Hi @nobikin95 - I noticed that the successful output has is_public: false, and the channels array is empty. What was your output for the files.completeUploadExternal request? I just want to check here that you supplied the channel_id, otherwise the file will be private.

3 weeks ago The cause of your confusion may not be related to this, but the files.completeUploadExternal API processes its tasks asynchronously. This means that if a subsequent operation attempts to download the uploaded file immediately, it might fail until the files.completeUploadExternal operation completes. It appears that your code is trying to download the files right away. In most cases, this can fail regardless of whether the files are public or private.
One way to determine if the upload operation is finished is to check if the "shared" property is available in the file's metadata. You can verify this by polling the files.info API with the uploaded file's ID.
I am trying to upload a file to a private Slack channel using the Slack API via the following Python script. However, once uploaded, the file cannot be downloaded by users in the channel. I am looking for help to understand why this is happening and how to resolve it.
Python runtime version
3.12.1
