I have been uploading to SPIFFS for quite a while, last time was maybe 3 weeks ago, there have been updates since this time… I now open an existing project from home page and find that the upload task is missing. the data folder is still present.
I have updated to 2.6.2 and the platform tasks are present.
I have no idea whether change is intrinsic to the update or the update simply mended a broken install. Either way the thing worked a few weeks ago but again I do not know version.
