The are connected to the same wifi, everything e.g. remote input etc. seem to work fine.

Restart of the device does not work
Comment 3 HUGO 2021-02-09 07:44:43 UTC
Good, it seems that it is not an error of the application, it is a connection error that your device has given, we regret your problem and if the problem continues, report again.




The incidence that you present when attaching and downloading attachments from emails to that specific folder is caused by access restrictions (That is if your computer is part of a private or corporate network), Windows user restrictions or malware. Please tell me if you computer is home or belongs to a group or corporate network.While you reply to us, please create a new Windows session with administrator rights and from there try to attach and download attachments. Below I share a link that will help you in the process: How to create user accounts in Windows 10 ?. Tell me the results of this test, I will be attentive to your answer.

Thanks for the hint, seems firewalld was not properly configured. I re-ensured that the service "gsconnect" is enabled for the zone and re-loaded rules.
