👋 I tried to reproduce your issue but I was not able to.

echo 'foo,bar,baz' > test.csv

>>> import slack

>>> response = client.files_upload(
...   channels="C1234567",
...   file="test.csv",
...   title="Test upload",
...   filetype="CSV"
... )

>>> print(response)
{'ok': True, 'file': {... }

Could you make sure if the response has 'ok': True and doesn't have an error code in the response?

to me it doesn't look like there is an error message but I am not 100% sure. Does it have something to do with display bot as false?
