My cloud app won’t connect to my cloud home duo

Since the new login procedure implemented in the my cloud app, I cannot get to my data. I have a my cloud duo and I can access all my files from my windows 10 desktop so the device is ok and the files are ok. When I try and use the app, it asks me to login, I login ok and it says searching for my device which it finds together with the activation code. It then says connect? Which I say yes. It then says do I want to set up a new device or connect to the existing. I select existing and it then says I need to ask the device owner to invite me to access the device. I am the device owner and the email it gives is mine. I don’t have any other users, just me! WD support so far can’t help - they suggested I selected set up a new device but that would delete all my files. They then suggested I paid for a 3rd party backup and do a factory reset. As I say, the files are all ok and I can access from windows ok, I don’t understand why the app cannot connect. It worked fine before the introduction of the new login on the app. Can anyone help out please?

Hi @markjg1960,

We apologize for the inconvenience.

We have escalated to our concern team. The respective team will contact you as soon as possible.

Thanks for escalating - I have not had any further contact - is there a case number I could track please? I want to install a new desktop but cannot download the windows app as I can’t log into my mobile app to send the email! Thanks
