2 years agoHey walbluefin - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you please clear your browser's cache or try another browser and let me know if you still get the same error?

Thanks!

I have tried other browser, clear cache and none help.
Could you kindly revert to me pls.
My plan was accidentally downgrade to basic and I cant access any live chat and none of the sales personal can help!
I have many important files and documents not sync and its frustrating.
You guys should have a better support on this issue

Hey HoneyChan76 - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

If you're on your phone, you might need to request the desktop version of the site, to see the camera button.
