# Vercel Blob client upload: Access denied, provide a valid token
## The problem
Client uploads to Vercel Blob fail with Vercel Blob: Access denied, please provide a valid token for this resource, specifically for larger files (up to 500MB) using client-side upload with handleUploadUrl. Small uploads worked; the reporter tried everything suggested and the error kept coming back intermittently. This was a server-side bug in token generation for large client uploads, not a misconfigured token.
## The verified fix
The fix was released server-side by the Vercel team (vvo confirmed on the thread: you should no longer get these errors). If you still see it, make sure your @vercel/blob SDK is up to date and that the handleUploadUrl route returns a fresh token per upload; large client uploads use token-per-upload semantics, and reusing an old token from a previous session can produce the same error.
