I used to be able to upload things and now I can't. The error code isn't helpful for me. I hope somebody on here can use it to help me.

I suggest to uninstall the Windows Store version and install the normal app (Windows Installer for Windows 7 and up); Windows store version is known to cause some problems at occasion and this might be one of them.
