Hi there! I see you're having trouble adding photos to Milanote—both your own and the recommended ones. Let's work through this together.
First, can you tell me a bit more about how you're trying to add the photos? For example, are you uploading from your local files, dragging and dropping, or using some built-in image search or recommendation feature within the app? Also, are you using the Milanote desktop app or accessing it through a web browser on your Windows 10 device?
Meanwhile, here are some simple steps we can try right away:
1. Restart the App/Browser: Sometimes Milanote can hang on uploading due to temporary glitches. Closing and reopening the app or refreshing your browser page might help.
2. Check File Formats and Size: Milanote supports common image formats like JPEG, PNG, GIF, and SVG. If your photos are in some unusual format or very large, you might experience problems uploading.
3. Clear Cache and Cookies (For Browser Users): Since you are on Windows 10 with a WebKit browser, clearing cache and cookies can fix upload issues caused by corrupted temporary files.
4. Disable Browser Extensions: If you have any ad blockers or privacy extensions, try turning them off temporarily—they can sometimes interfere with uploads.
5. Check Internet Connection: A stable internet connection helps with uploads. If possible, try switching networks or resetting your router.
If you've already tried these, let me know which steps, and we can look into more advanced troubleshooting like account sync issues or possible server-side problems.
Also, Milanote is aware of occasional image upload issues and working on fixes, so sometimes a restart is a temporary but effective solution1.
Could you please share a bit more about your workflow and the symptoms? This will really help me guide you better.
Thanks for the extra details! Since you're using the Milanote desktop app on Windows 10 and have already tried drag-and-drop, uploading from your device, and using the search bar, yet the problem persists, let's look deeper.
Here are some advanced steps tailored for the app environment:
1. Check for App Updates Sometimes upload issues are fixed in newer versions. Please confirm your Milanote app is updated to the latest version. You can usually find an update option in the app menu or by reinstalling the app from Milanote’s official website.
2. Run as Administrator Right-click the Milanote app icon and select "Run as administrator." This can resolve permission issues affecting file uploads.
3. Disable Antivirus/Firewall Temporarily Occasionally, antivirus or firewall software might block file operations or network requests related to image upload. Try disabling them briefly and test image adding again (just ensure you turn them back on after).
4. Check Network Proxy or VPN Settings If you are using a VPN or proxy, it might interfere with the app’s connection to the image recommendation service or upload server. Temporarily disable these if possible.
5. Clear App Cache/Data Some apps store cached files or data that could become corrupted. For Milanote desktop, clearing cache often involves deleting specific folders in your user directory (be cautious here, or let me guide you through the exact paths).
6. Sign Out and Sign Back In Logging out of your Milanote account in the app and signing back in can refresh sync services which might be blocking new content uploads.
If after trying all this, images from the app’s search bar still don't appear, it could be a temporary server-side issue. You can also try using the web version at https://milanote.com to see if the problem exists there.
For more details on drag issues and general troubleshooting, Milanote’s official help center has guidance here: Why Can't I Drag Anything? and Troubleshooting [1][2].
Please let me know which of these you'd like help performing, or if you want me to walk you through any specific step. I’m here to help get those photos flowing into your boards!

I've done drag and drop, uploading from device, and using the search bar in the app. I'm using the app. Tried all recommended fixes
