This is not a popular opinion, but I just render the project out to a hard drive, then I visually check the beginning, middle, and end of the file to make sure it looks correct and the sound is there. Once I'm sure it's good, THEN I manually upload the file to whatever service I need the project to be on. This only adds a few minutes to the process, and this way you know for a fact that there are no issues (like wrong version, audio turned off, sync problems, etc.).
In post production, I've survived for years by trusting nothing and always checking my work. For a lot of reasons, I avoid automatic mechanisms that introduce an additional chance for failure.
