    Hi Hanif01, how are you today?

     

    Can you let me know more, in regards to the app's syncing status, and how long it's been like that?

     

    Keep in mind that you can adjust the app's bandwidth, by following these steps. 

     

    Keep me posted!

Hi Hanif01, let's take a look! 

 

The screenshot you attached here, is what your colleagues see under the app's preferences, right? Can you also send me a screenshot of what you see on your end, under your Sync tab? 

 

Also, which version of the desktop app is installed on your device currently?

 

Keep me posted!

    Hi Hanif01, thanks for your speedy response! 

     

    You mentioned that you're part of a team, so it sounds like your admin might have disabled that feature for you. Have a look into this Help Center article. 

     

    Would you be able to check with the Team's admin, and let me know how that goes?

        Hi Hanif, I hope you don’t mind if I jump in here, too. 

         

        Can you let me know what type of screenshots do you need? 

         

        Is there a part of the Help Center instructions you’d like us to further explain?
