I updated my Device Name to reflect My First and Last Name. Now I am not able to access most of the folders and files through the app. Looks like I may still have access to most through the browser. I need help to restore my access through the app.
Hi @AkankshaD, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you clarify error you're getting, if any, and what behavior you're seeing?
Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
