Thank you for confirming.

This has indeed now finished uploading, four days later...

Since it's taken so long just to upload these files, can we expect this sort of speed day to day when working on them? While I understand there are restrictions in terms of upload speeds etc, this could throw a spanner in the works in terms of our working processes.

    Sorry to hear about this and apologies for the late reply dfloring.

    Now, so as to have a better view of the matter at hand, could you elaborate on the problem you're having by providing information about your setup (device's OS, version of our app etc.)?

    Thanks in advance!
