Why is my uploaded file not appearing on my Livedrive Windows 8 Modern UI app?
There are several possible reasons why a file may not appear on the Windows 8 Modern UI Cloud app.
If you have just uploaded the file to Livedrive you should refresh the folder. Simply swipe from the bottom of the screen upwards on a touchscreen computer, or press the right button on your mouse to display the bottom Windows menu. Select the "Refresh" icon and the contents of your cloud will be refreshed.
If the file is still missing from your computer, it is likely it has not been uploaded on to Livedrive correctly. We would recommend placing the file on the cloud a second time. If you continue to have problems we would suggest contacting our support team by emailing support@rhinobackup.co.uk and submit a ticket to our team.
