    Hi conalwn,

     

    I'm happy to hear that everything is back in working order! It's possible that your cache wasn't properly clearing upon signing out and back in, which is the usual operation that would clear out the cached files causing this error message. This problem seems to have resolved itself while we were investigating.

     

    For anyone else receiving this error message, sign out, then sign back in to clear your cached files. If that doesn't work, please let me know and we can take a deeper look!

     

    Regards,

    Ben

Well - that is an interesting question.

Yes, iphone client will do photo upload to success.. BUT..

I get a warning - see screenshot (attached):

"URGENT! You've used 4% of your storage!"

4% of 7 GB is 280MB.. is that 'really' urgent when I'm trying to upload 5MB of photos?

The Mac Client is my Key method of syncing.
