Hi there, Wilson6, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you getting the same behavior if you access your account from a different web browser or a private browsing window?
Keep me posted.

Hi, unfortunately yes. I've tried accessing my account via a windows edge browser, mac safari and chrome and also via my iphone. I've also downloaded the app on my laptop. No solution yet.

Hmm, that's strange.
You mentioned that you could see the photo grid briefly; by "photo grid" are you referring to this page or your "all files" page?
A screenshot of the error you're seeing, would also be really helpful, if you could send us one.

Hi Hannah, thank you for helping, it's really appreciated. It appears on the first link. I upgraded the storage this morning, but I'm not sure that any files have been made available. Could this be because it's been a couple of years since I used the account? This was a freelance account I used for my volunteer work.

No problem, Wilson, happy to help! 🙂
Hmm, if it had been years since you used the account, the account would probably be deleted, as inactive accounts get automatically disabled after 12 months.
Do you remember being prompted to sign up instead of signing in to your account?
Also, do you see any files in the "all files" page at all?
