Browser Server Resource Type Flash, Media and File not found in dropdown select box.
I spent over eight hours on this searching through this forum reading hundreds of posts. I finally found this post:
Upload other file types
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6583&p=17700&hilit=Resource+Type+missing#p17700
I'm able to upload images with no problems but I'm unable to upload other files. When I click on "browse server" I only get the Image folder under Resource Type; I do not see File, Media or Flash. I've updated both config.php files. I've also created the File, Media and Flash directory and users do have access to write to these folders.
Here is the answer:

If you use the "browse server" from the image dialog, then you'll get only images.
To be able to use other file types you must use the button in the link dialog (if not done this way, the people might upload a doc to the images folder and then try to use it as an image and wonder why it doesn't automatically work)
I tried using these searches:
Browse Server
Browse Server dropdown
no flash dropdown
no flash dropdown
only images enabled
Resource Type
Resource Type missing
dropdown menu browse server
I have added this post with these search terms in hopes it will save someone their valuable time. I hope this helps someone.
