With a current nightly build, I tried uploading files with these names, and they all failed (after reaching 100% uploaded): wat huh? wat¿ b... b.... ....b b....b The following filenames did not fail: B.bbb .scream Wat?.m.m.m.m. Beer Nooo! Huh huh huh? Wat wat wat watwatwat (Perhaps the pattern is, it needs more than three non-punctuation characters in the title?) That was all earlier today. As of right now, every upload I start from the app fails immediately (before uploading), and sending an file to the app via intents causes a crash immediately upload pressing Upload.

Unsure how to fix the titleblacklist issue. But the crash issue should be fixed with 10b7a97f6699841027eb60cc7609bff2fea2a720
Yes, probably the blacklist. The app itself should do a very basic check (is the title long enough?) and then blacklist failures should return a more specific message than "Failed" (and should not permit retry with the same name).
You should get back different error codes for the upload system saying your name is too short and for TitleBlacklist rejecting the title... UploadBase::getTitle() does the check on the extension, and returns a specific error which should come back as 'filename-tooshort'.
Did this get resolved after appending explicit file extensions or is it still happening?
It's mostly title blacklist / other blacklists, rather than extensions
