We would think so. The web editor allows for choosing to verify the code, but not upload. We can upload from a PC through Create so one would think there is a driver issue. We use PCs 99% of the time with Uno, Nano, and ESP32 - and always successfully, but have some students who only have Chromebooks so they are limited.
The IoT part of Create supports ESP32 fully - so we are unsure where the disconnect is.
