Action Performed:

1. Open web chrome
2. Go to any chat
3. Drag the large pdf file (3-8 MB) onto the chat. (I tested it with documents that I've attached below for medium-large pdfs)
4. Make sure that the document preview is shown
5. Now drag the same large pdf file again on the previous pdf preview
6. Click on send
7. Notice that the pdf file is opened two times and is sent two times
8. But now repeat the same steps for small pdf files (in KB) or on images and notice that even when you drag the same small pdf file or image at the second time, it doesn't show the preview and the file is not uploaded (unlike the previous case where dragging the large pdf in the second time uploaded the file)

Expected Result:

Either both the large and small pdfs should be allowed to be dragged multiple times even when the preview for the previous pdf is open OR none of them should be allowed to be dragged and be uploaded on the second time

Actual Result:

Large pdf files are allowed to be dragged multiple times and the preview automatically opens up the second time unlike the smaller pdf files and images

Can the user still use Expensify without this being fixed? Have you informed them of the workaround?

I am unable to reproduce this

[MitchExpensify]

Somewhat curiously I was unable to reproduce this when testing with the IELTS file but could reproduce this with the "Power of your subconscious" file

[MitchExpensify]

I think we should not allow the second "large" file to be uploaded/queued for preview and the behavior should copy the "small" file upload where you cannot drag and drop a second file on a file upload preview.. curious what the engineer and C+ assigned feels with regards to that!
