Issue Summary: Due to an upstream provider removing an IP address from service, some customers were unable to upload files and connect to Slack. We requested customers flush their DNS cache in order to purge the IP address. Please reach out to feedback@slack.com if you’re having any trouble uploading files or connecting to Slack.

We've discovered that an incorrect IP address for one of our servers was cached by some ISPs and customers' machines. We have received several confirmations that flushing DNS resolves the issue. Let us know at feedback@slack.com if that's not the case, and we'd be happy to have a look.
