Re: Follow folder option grayed out - shared folders, business account

Ha ha Ty!
I tried on chrome on my PC and both chrome and safari both on my MacBook. I did have extensions running tho.

It began with the ppl I shared the link with letting me know that they couldn’t use the follow option I had made a screen record showing them how to do it…so I then checked it on my end.

I made the recording a while ago, I can check the date if needed, just lmk.

I have an individual account, not upgraded.

I will try again tomorrow on those devices, but I just tried on iPhone via safari and it does the same thing.

It's not sorted out for me!  If anyone else has a suggestion let the world know please.

Hi @nrf, your initial post happened more than a month ago. 

 

Do you still follow the same inconsistent behavior on all browsers, with the Follow button grayed out here and there?

Hi Megan,

 

The problem is not intermittent but consistent.  Once the setting initially greyed out it has not reactivated despite me resetting the permissions settings as described in my previous posts.

 

I just checked again on my PC (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) and Mac (Chrome).

 

If your tech support people want to videoconference and troubleshoot live I would spend some time with them - a fix would save me lots of time emailing my higher-ups whenever I add info to their folders.

Hey @nrf, thanks for the additional info here. 

 

Is it okay if we send you an email, so we can look into this internally?
