Troubleshoot slow, stuck or failed uploads to Marvin

Use these solutions to check your network and solve upload issues

If you or your team is having trouble uploading files to Marvin, please follow the suggested troubleshooting and solutions in this article. For some steps, you may need to contact your IT/network administrator.

What kind of issue are you facing?

  1. Failed uploads: Files do not upload, get stuck, or you see an error.

  2. Slow uploads: The upload eventually completes, but takes much longer than expected.

Failed uploads

Please try these steps first so we can determine whether the issue is linked to your network, VPN, or something else:

Troubleshooting

  • Retry the upload to rule out temporary network issues.

  • Switch to a different Wi-Fi network or a mobile hotspot.

  • If you use a VPN, temporarily disconnect it and retry the upload.

  • Disconnect and reconnect to your Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

  • Try a different browser, preferably a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.

  • Restart your browser and try uploading again.

Solution

If the upload works normally on another network or without the VPN, the issue is likely related to your organization's network configuration.

Share these network requirements with your IT or network administrator:

Network requirements for Marvin uploads

Please allow direct HTTPS access to the following upload endpoints:

If your Marvin account is on app.heymarvin.com, please add this endpoint to the allowlist:

Upload endpoint: audioofyourusers.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com

Protocol: HTTPS

Port: TCP 443

If your Marvin account is on app.eu.heymarvin.com, please add this endpoint to the allowlist:

Upload endpoint: audioofyourusers-eu-prod.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com

Protocol: HTTPS

Port: TCP 443

IT administrator checklist

Please ensure that the appropriate upload endpoint:

  • Is not blocked by firewall rules

  • Is not restricted by VPN policies

  • Is not interrupted by proxy servers

  • Is not affected by TLS/SSL inspection

  • Is not being throttled or rate-limited

  • Allows outbound HTTPS traffic over TCP port 443

  • Supports uninterrupted uploads of large files

Slow uploads

Files upload eventually, but it takes longer than usual.

Troubleshooting

  1. Test the upload on a different Wi-Fi network or a mobile hotspot.

  2. If you use a VPN, temporarily disconnect it and retry the upload.

  3. Check that your internet connection is stable and not experiencing bandwidth issues. You can use any internet speed test.

  4. Retry with a smaller file, to check if the issue is size-related.

  5. Try a different browser, preferably a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.

Solution

If uploads are faster on another network, please reach out to your IT/network administrator to verify that traffic to Marvin's upload endpoints is not:

  • Throttled or rate-limited

  • Routed through network inspection systems that introduce latency

  • Intercepted by proxy servers

  • Subject to TLS/SSL inspection policies that slow large file transfers
