RStudio Cloud file upload permission denied

[laurakaytee]

I am using a Mac (OS Mavericks) and was having problems with r-studio installed on my computer so I tried r-studio cloud. However, when I try to upload files into the interface, I get the following error:
File Upload Error:
Permission Denied

Any idea on how to give permission to access files on my laptop?

I've tried using both upload buttons and testing it both on chrome and safari.

One way to get this error is when you try to upload a file in the "Cloud" directory instead of your project's directory

If that's the issue here, you'd click on the project and upload any files there or in a subdirectory of that project.
