    This may be a stupid question but how do you upload a DC to the 3D Warehouse? I have tried uploading multiple times but the result is always a regular component.

    What am I missing here?

      I assume you are using Save_As on a DC, or exporting your DCs as part of a Collection.

      The SKP file[s] that results might appear like a normal 'Component', but if you then add it to a Model it will display the DC attributes/properties you gave it when you made/saved it.
      The various 'dynamic_attributes' which you gave it within its 'cradle' Model, are saved with the external SKP itself, when you do the Save_as etc...

      So when you upload a DC SKP it should retain its special abilities as attributes attached to its own model.
      When you download a DC it still has those abilities saved within it, but they do not display if you simply open that downloaded SKP - they only manifest themselves when you insert that DC into another Model... It is a Dynamic Componentafter all... the clue is in the name...
