    Hi Mouland, happy Monday! 

     

    I'd need some additional info, in order for me to provide you with the appropriate next steps. 

     

    Can you clarify which platform you're trying to access files from? Are you accessing your account online, on the desktop app or mobile app? 

     

    What do you see when you visit your account online?

     

    Let me know more!
