Im seeing the file list, but its really slow to load. Do you see the file list if you wait like 5 seconds?

I did find a different bug in this process, but Ill open a ticket for that.

it might not show the other files if you haven't downloaded them. Try having two files downloaded before switching.

hey @youngcw -- thanks for your quick response! unfortunately, i'm not sure how to download budget files before opening them (upon initial log in after clearing cookies). clicking on the three dots to the right (kebab menu) immediately downloads the file and opens it, without giving more options as would be expected from that UI element.

You can close the file from the settings menu and open a different one. I found that kebab menu issue too just now.
