Hey 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?

 

If you do, I'd appreciate a screenshot (omitting any personal information) as well.

 

Thanks!

Same story here. Different browser, Different payment methods. Cleared browser cache. Time to look for an alternate cloud solution.

    Hey baltmann, thanks for posting here! 


    Since you've already tried a few troubleshooting steps, would it be okay for me to reach out internally, in order for us to investigate there? 

     

    Let me know!

        Hey baltmann and gesietta42, I just sent you both an email, so we'll continue investigating the issue there.

         

        Cheers!

      I'm having the same issue too. Have tried different browser, clearing cache etc. 

      I would do it via the app, but it only allows for monthly via my Apple account and I want to pay on my business card. 

      Please help! My computer has run out of space and I've been trying to sign up for a plan since yesterday.
