Error: "Response does not include the base64 encoded policy!" Bulk Upload

When I am uploading practice tests csv file for my Udemy course, I get the error "Response does not include the base64 encoded policy!".

I followed the instructions and downloaded Udemy's Practice Test Question Template, and tried it both:

1.Uploading the file as it is(without changing anything.) (still got this error "Response......"

2.Uploading after adding my questions, still get the same error "Response...."

Anyone had the same issue and how did you fix that?

Thank you in advance.

  • Yes! I'm having the the same problem here.

    I've already tested to upload in Chrome (even in incognito window) and Firefox and still got the same error.

    And I tested with a .csv that I've already uploaded a few months ago and I'm receiving the same error message.

  • I am having the same problem. It tried different browsers. It is still not working at all.

  • Hi I am getting the same error till awaiting reply from udemy..

    Pls share if any resolution.

    Hi @SecbayInc.093 and Everyone. The error you are receiving can be linked to several different causes, but we suggest checking a few things:

    1. You should check if you're behind a firewall that is limiting what info can be sent and received. Some Firewalls may prevent you from sending/receiving data without our service being whitelisted.

    2. Also, in some cases, your machine's time zone may not be set up correctly--this can throw a lot of things off, strangely enough, so we'd suggest making sure your computer's time zone matches your local one.

    If after reviewing these items the issue persists, I'd ask that you please an email to instructorsupport@udemy.com with the following information:

    • A screenshot of the JS console

    • A copy of the CSV file you are attempting to upload

    • The name of the course you are attempting this on

    Hope this helps!

      Hi @ArthurLarse907, thank you for submitting a ticket to Instructor Support with the required information. Our team is currently receiving a significantly higher volume of support tickets than normal, and as a result, responses from our team have been delayed. Don't worry you'll hear from them.

      I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

    • Hi I am getting the same error, give priority to the case , it seems to be a general problem , many people have the same issue

    • I am going through this thread and sadly I am also one of those affected. I'll be sending a mail to instructorsupport@udemy.com as suggested and hope to get a fix soon.

    • Do we have a solution / workaround? I have written to support team. This issue exists even while trying to upload "Udemy's Practice Test Question Template".

      Thanks in advance.

      Hi @JM24031977 I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. The report has been made to our specialist; however, we don't have a deadline when this will be fixed. There is a workaround and it might take a bit more of you time to upload the questions, but we have seen this has helped other instructors. We know is not ideal, but you can try to upload the questions one by one or use a Mac using chrome.

      Thanks for your understanding.

      Regards,

      Eliana

    • Hi @ElianaC
      , Thanks for the message.

      Happy to share that I am able to do a work around. I have successsfully uploaded csv file from chrome browser in my android (v 11) phone. This worked for me.

      Note, this is not an official solution, I am just sharing my experience if it helps.

      Regards,

      jimmy

    • This looks like a recent one. I am developing a course but unable to upload any further. In touch with Instructor support and its going to be couple weeks. I even sent hints. The Fine Signing having issues - most likely the JS script returning Json result which is interpreted incorrectly. Hopefully it will be resolved soon.

    • Eliana - btw all you suggested has been tried or sent - s/s showing error; different browsers; confirming time zone is good.

    • Yes work-around by a gentleman is good - can upload from your phone. For now others please use.

    • Hi, I had a similar problem earlier today, I got very frustrated. I decided to shut down everything. So I closed the CVS file and just before I logged off of udemy, I tried again and this time round it uploaded.

      I guess you have to have the CVS file closed first on your machine before it can upload.

      Hope this helps.
