File Error loading wave files

Getting this error loading wave files from Google Drive.
Never had the issue before until now. Any ideas what’s happening?

Ah, finally the new error details pay off. It seems like Google Drive signals Stage Traxx that the file "Keep a Knowing' A.wav" has been downloaded to your iPad while in fact it is not been downloaded.

I would make sure to download the file before importing it.

Thanks Peter,
I just transferred the same file via iCloud with no issue.
Can you elaborate more what you think is the fix for Google Drive, as that's who I have my main storage account with, cheers

It seems that the integration of 3rd party cloud services into iOS is not easy to get right. Basically only iCloud seems to work without any issues. Dropbox is a total nightmare and Drive does not seem to fare much better.

A workaround that always works is to use the Drive or Dropbox app to download the file and use the "Share" menu to send it to Stage Traxx. That way you can make sure that the file is fully downloaded before being sent to ST3. Of course this is not as comfortable as selecting the File from within Stage Traxx.

What might also work is to tap on the cloud icon when importing from Stage Traxx and wait until the download finishes. Then tap on the file to import it.

Thanks Peter

To keep the workflow steady I'll use iCloud as suggested. I'll subscribe to iCloud+.
On a brighter note, I love this software and recommend it to my muso friends.
Nice work :-)

This has fixed the Google Drive Error when importing to Stage Traxx.
We are only talking Google Drive issues here. iCloud works perfectly from within the Stage Traxx app.

The idea is not to download your sound files from Google Drive within Stage Traxx but from within the Google Drive app.

Once the following is completed, Stage Traxx will open with the newly loaded file.
The following URL has the actions to complete. I also have them written out to go along with that.

You open your Google Drive app then
At the bottom right, tap Files (Folder Icon)
Then touch the MP3 or Wav file and hold the file until it’s selected, then Tap More (3 dots icon)
Tap the "Open in" menu.
You’ll see the message, “Preparing to export.”
Then when prompted, select the destination where you’d like to download the file.
This is where you go to the far right and select the 3 dots and scroll to choose Stage Traxx.
Once you press the Stage Traxx icon the app will open with your file uploaded.
