Troubleshoot a delivery
Usually, deliveries goes smoothly. But sometimes users need help getting their files downloaded, or uploaded to a request:
They have not received any delivery email; Sometimes, the accsyn delivery emails get catched by spam filters. Ask users to check their spam mail. Another thing as that you have not sent the delivery yet, recall that you need to actively Submit a new delivery before users can download/upload. If emails cannot be dispatched, ask them to login to https://accsyn.io with the same email as you have added as recipient, they should be able to locate their delivery in the Downloads section (or Uploads section, if an upload request).
The file transfer won't start, keeps failing; Have user check their antivirus and firewalls, so accsyn desktop app is whitelisted and traffic are allowed (TCP ports 45190 and upwards needs to be allowed towareds the Internet and accsyn infrastructure servers).
The transfer goes for a while but fails or just stops; Make sure they have not logged out and/or shut down their computer, it is needed for transfers to complete. If they are transferring in the web browser, they can't reload or close the accsyn web page before transfer is completed. Also, their disk might be full - have them check free space.
