Troubleshooting
Q: Why are my files not showing in the file explorer pop-up?
A: Occasionally, 'Image Files' or 'Custom Files' is automatically selected in the file-type drop down. This needs to be changed to 'All Files'.
Q: Why is my file not uploading? There is a spinning wheel and 'Save Changes' is greyed out.
A: The most common cause of this is poor internet connection. We recommend using file compressors to reduce the file size to make uploading faster. You can use websites similar to https://www.compress2go.com/ to do this.
This can also occur when uploading a photo that has been taken using an Apple product e.g. iPhone or iPad. Apple products utilise HEIC files instead of JPEG files. HEIC files are not compatible with the HammerTech system. To set up your device to save image files as JPEG instead of HEIC, go to Settings> Camera > Formats > select Most Compatible
