Troubleshooting
Quick answers to the most common problems, for your team and your clients.
My client didn't get the email
- Ask them to check their spam or junk folder for an email from your firm's name via Sealio.
- Open the request and choose Send reminder now in the Reminders panel. The reminder carries a fresh upload link.
- Check the address on the client's page. If emails to it bounced, or the client marked one as spam, the page shows a warning and Sealio has stopped emailing that address. Correct the address with Edit, then send a reminder. (In place)
My client's link doesn't work
Upload links are personal and work for 30 days. Send reminder now sends a new one. If the client sees "wrong code", codes work once and only for 10 minutes: they can choose Email me a code again.
A file says "Checking for viruses…" for a long time
The check usually takes under a minute, and the page updates by itself. If a file is still checking after an hour, Sealio treats it as one it couldn't check, holds it back, and asks the client for another copy. (In place)
A file was refused when my client uploaded it
The upload page says why. The usual reasons:
- Wrong type: the item accepts other kinds of files (for example PDF or a photo). The accepted types are listed under the item.
- Too big, or too many files for that item: each item shows its limits.
- The file's content doesn't match its name (a renamed file): Sealio checks the first bytes of every upload. Ask for the original file.
- Your firm's storage is full: the client sees a short message asking them to let you know. An Owner or Admin can see what takes the space in Settings → Storage, set a retention period in Settings → Review, or change the plan in Settings → Billing.
I can't sign in
- Wrong password several times: after five wrong passwords, sign-in for that email is paused for 15 minutes (longer if it keeps happening). Use Forgot password? to set a new one; it's always available.
- Lost the phone with your authenticator app: use one of your backup codes instead of the 6-digit code.
- Never got the confirmation code when you signed up: check spam, then choose Send a new code on the same screen.
Everything is read-only
Your firm's trial has ended or a payment failed. The Owner can choose a plan or update the card in Settings → Billing; your clients can still upload in the meantime. See Plans and billing.
I can't find a document
Press ⌘K (Ctrl K on Windows) anywhere in Sealio and type part of the client's name, the file name or the document type. See A client's documents and search.
Still stuck?
Write to Sealio support from the email address you sign in with, and include the request or client name (never the documents themselves).
