Hi @Silas R, how are you today?

 

Do you happen to know how many files are in the folder they are trying to transfer to you? Is more than 10,000 files possibly or just a specific file?

 

Have you also tried an incognito tab on your browser?

 

Keep me posted!

Hi @Silas R, can you confirm your browsers are up to date?

 

Also what is the OS you're using on your end?
