when i upload file using ipfs add i can access it only from my local gateway but when i try to access to from https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/{hash} i do not get any response
also the webUI is working fine and i get connected to a decent number of peers

my system is mac os Mojave i even tried to run ipfs on ubuntu live install still getting no response

How long do you wait? I’ve had it take up to 10 minutes after requesting content from a remote gateway to actually find that content.

Additionally you may want to check your router to ensure you’re properly forwarding IPFS traffic and that you’re node is reachable via a remote node (a good way to test this is to try to establish a swarm connection on a remote node to your current node).

Another thing you can try to help speed up content is explicitly tell the network that you’re providing a particular piece of content with ipfs dht provide <cid>

v0.4.20 added auto relay functionality for nodes with poor connectivity. It can take a few minutes to get a relay address and it’s currently experimental, but it seems to help in some cases from what I’ve seen so far.

This can be enabled using ipfs config --json Swarm.EnableAutoRelay true.

What do you consider a decent number of peers?

sometimes it reaches 800 and on average it is 400 when it’s too low it reaches 60

After checking my router and configuring it to properly forward IPFS traffic and restarting my pc it finally worked thank you so much
