I want ot create a release for my Github project, but when I try to upload my binary (which is a .zip file) to the release, I get the following error message:

Something went really wrong, and we can’t process that file.

I get the same error message if I try to upload some other files (e.g. my readme file). What could be wrong?

Check first if this issue persists with all browser.

I have seen this error message before, where the upload succeeded with Chrome, but not Firefox.
