Interesting. Works with Firefox (Win 7 Pro), MS Explorer (Win 7 Pro), Safari - iPad
That's the point, they aren't shown on Chrome/Win7. If you can verify that they are displayed properly with Chrome on a Win7 system, it may be important to verify which version of Chrome and updates to Win7 you have.
My system forcibly updated Sunday evening -- much against my wishes. It has been a mess ever since. For example, ALL of the Chrome icons were wiped out and replaced with white, generic space. The Intel RST was also removed from the start tray. I put it back, but it still doesn't start the way it used to. It is kind of like deja vu with Netscape, "all over again." I thought MS had learned a lesson with that a score of years ago and was behaving a little bit better. So, it is conceivable that even some Win7 users with Chrome way be seeing the list, depending on their update status.

My plug-ins are set to run automatically. This snippet shows that Flash is always allowed:
As for ZIP'ing a file, that has been a standard way for many years and is only slightly inconvenient for the poster, but many people are cautious about opening zipped files. Therefore, it is not the best solution.

That is a very good point, I had not thought of that. I imagine it would still be an acceptable workaround provided the poster states why it is in a zip file

On my mobile device, if flash is involved it won't work (iPhone). On two laptops, it won't work with Chrome although flash is installed and working
It is in the upload file dialog box. See below...
Right under the Choose File button...
I don't get that in FF. I get the Open dialog in the image I posted.
I know it's an old thread, but I just discovered I'm having similar problems. In Firefox when I tried to upload a pic all I can see is folders, not individual files. And yes I make sure the file extension box displays the file types. This is on my work and home puters, both Win7. On both machines I can open IE and everything works fine. Any suggestions?
