    Hi Everyone,

     

    Our engineering team has implemented a fix. File requests should now work as intended. If you are still experiencing any issues with file requests, reply here and we can take a closer look.

     

    Thanks,

    Ben

Also keeping this conversation alive. I'm also having the same problem. I have a File Request button but it's non-functional. I can't get into any of my previous file requests, and the links I send from them go to a blank screen. I've cleared my cache and restarted to no avail. I was able to create a new file request on my smartphone but it also goes to a blank page.

    Hi - all file requests bring me to a page that says:

    This file request has been closed, deleted, or never existed.

      Hey Trevor Roberts - sorry to hear about this.

       

      Can you please clear your browser's cache and/or try another browser and let us know if you get the same results?

      Sorry to hear about this tkayb13 

       

      Are you the one who opened the file requests or are you the one uploading?

       

      If you get the same error after clearing your browser's cache or on another browser, could you send us a screenshot so that we can have a  visual too?
