#525474 (comment 2429651766)

Problem

When users try to upload a file in Repository > + > Upload file, and there is an error, the error message appears as an alert that is difficult to see behind the modal.

In #525474 (closed) and !185237 (merged), the error for dragging a directory into the modal was updated:

However, there are still other error messages for uploading files that still appear as alerts behind the modal. See error message for uploading a file with the same name as an existing file in the directory:

error-samename.mov

Design recommendation

• Provide list of all the error messages in Repository > + > Upload file for UX/technical writing review
• Update the formatting of all error messages in the upload file modal to use this formatting, so users can see the error messages clearly:

• Update the text of the error message for uploading a file of the same name to: This file name already exists. Please choose a different name and try again.
• If necessary, make other error message text more descriptive and specific rather than the generic Error uploading file. Please try again.
